This book contains a multifaceted report about the Pennsylvania Monument at Andersonville, Georgia that was built in 1905. The monument honors the 1,849 Pennsylvania Union prisoners-of-war (POWs) who died at Andersonville Prison (Camp Sumter) during the American Civil War. The monument is a granite domed arcade that features a solemn bronze figure at the top who represents a POW. The monument also features a bronze relief sculpture on a plaque that shows POWs gathering fresh water from Providence Spring, a spring that had arisen from the parched earth, as if by an act of divine providence, and provided some respite for the POWs. Miller and Clark Granite and Monumental Works of Americus, Georgia had won the commission to design and build the monument (the company also collaborated with artists for specific parts of the monument). Each section within this book is relatively brief, but a variety of information is included. Any original historical materials quoted herein appear as printed text. The following are some of the contents: historical account and correspondence relating to the planning and commissioning of the monument; notable people in charge of the monument's planning and design; exercises observed at Andersonville, Georgia on December 7, 1905; speeches of noted military officers associated with the project such as Colonel James D. Walker, Harry White, Captain William H. Bricker, and Thomas J. Stewart; "Historical Incidents in Connection with Imprisonment of Union Soldiers at Andersonville, Georgia" (including an account by one of the members of an expedition sent to survey Andersonville Prison in July 1865 and accounts about the people who intervened to preserve Andersonville Prison and its cemetery where thousands of POWs were buried); "Roster of Applications Received at Adjutant General's Office, Harrisburg, PA., for Transportation to Andersonville, Georgia, Under Provision of Act of Assembly, Approved May 11, 1905"; and "Evidences of Causes of Mortality." Andersonville Prison was established in February 1864 by the Confederate government as a POW camp. Over the 14-month span of Andersonville Prison's existence, about 45,000 Union prisoners-of-war were held captive there and about 13,000 of them died. In the infamous summer of 1864, it is estimated that 100 Union POWs died every day from disease, exposure, or malnutrition. The camp was beset by overcrowding, inadequate shelter, and a lack of sanitation, potable water, food, and medical supplies. Andersonville Prison was shut down by the Union after the Confederacy's defeat in April 1865.

It was a United States space program that started in 1961 and concluded in 1966. Project Gemini was conducted between projects Mercury and Apollo. The Gemini spacecraft carried a two-astronaut crew. Ten crews flew low Earth orbit (LEO) missions between 1965 and 1966. It put the United States in the lead during the Cold War Space Race against the Soviet Union.Its objective was to develop space travel techniques to support Apollo's mission to land astronauts on the Moon. Gemini achieved missions long enough for a trip to the Moon and back, perfected working outside the spacecraft with extra-vehicular activity (EVA), and pioneered the orbital maneuvers necessary to achieve space rendezvous and docking. With these new techniques proven by Gemini, Apollo could pursue its prime mission without doing these fundamental exploratory operations.The Apollo program, also known as Project Apollo, was the third United States human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which accomplished landing the first humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972. First conceived during Dwight D. Eisenhower's administration as a three-man spacecraft to follow the one-man Project Mercury which put the first Americans in space, Apollo was later dedicated to President John F. Kennedy's national goal of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s, which he proposed in an address to Congress on May 25, 1961. Project Mercury was followed by the two-man Project Gemini (1962-66). The first manned flight of Apollo was in 1968.Kennedy's goal was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their Lunar Module (LM) on July 20, 1969, and walked on the lunar surface, while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the Command/Service Module (CSM), and all three landed safely on Earth on July 24. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last in December 1972. In these six spaceflights, twelve men walked on the Moon.The Y-12 National Security Complex is a United States Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration facility located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, near the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It was built as part of the Manhattan Project for the purpose of enriching uranium for the first atomic bombs. In the years after World War II, it has been operated as a manufacturing facility for nuclear weapons components and related defense purposes. Title from cover.
