The closest that "collecting" came to my family, as far as I know, was my great great GrandFather, G.W. Murray. He fought in the American Civil War, was captured and imprisoned in the infamous Andersonville Prison. After his release at the end of the war, he published a small book of his experiences. The prologue to his book contained a poem about Andersoville Prison. I always suspected that it was a song and that he wrote it. I recently found out, through MUDCAT, that it was a very populiar ballad of the time. CHEERS, Bob
