RE: Stump the German
Kudos, Wild Bill, that is correct!
Heinrich Hartmann Wirz was a 48er (actually a 49er) from Zurich, Switzerland, and, like Bill said, commander of Camp Sumter, the Confederate prisoner-of-war camp near Andersonville, Georgia. In 1865, he was tried and executed on Nov.10 for conspiracy and murder relating to his command of the camp, and buried in the prison yard beside the Lincoln conspirators. Bill, today is a holiday, Ascension Day, which unofficially has become Father's Day. Men and husbands are hiking the countryside, pulling handcarts loaded with picnic supplies. To load your Bollerwagen for the Vatertagstour you win a 7 course Mississippi dinner. |
