"...They have left us here to die."

Ladies & Gents-

I have been doing some research about the Atlanta Campaign/Andersonville Prison and I came across this on-line and thought it would be of interest. The links below will take you to the diary entries of one Charles Lepley of Company E, 103rd Pennsylvania Infantry. He was captured in April 1864 and was sent to Andersonville where he passed away in September.
