At its peak, the prison held 32,000 Union soldiers in a camp designed for 10,000 prisoners. Nearly 13,000 died and were buried in a cemetery just outside the prison walls, many in unmarked or mismarked graves.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Barr, museum interpreter at the Andersonville National Historic Site, discusses the process used to research and identify lost soldiers and their forgotten stories. Barr shares the research on Union prisoners from New York State, including Tom Curry, a member the 83rd New York Infantry, Company D and an ancestor of a Hudson Valley Community College student.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Barr\u2019s presentation will be video streamed at <a title=\"http:\/\/new.livestream.com\/hvccstreaming\/voices\" href=\"http:\/\/new.livestream.com\/hvccstreaming\/voices\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/new.livestream.com\/hvccstreaming\/voices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Wed, 13 Nov 2013 12:41:47 +0000 by\u00a0r.matthews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Voices: A Library Lecture Series committee is pleased to present \u201cHearing Lost Voices: Finding and Sharing Individual Stories&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-student-announcement-college-related"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1240\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
