What was the most interesting quote from today’s reading? Why?

In the book The Civil War: Moments in History, the quote I found most interesting is about Andersonville prison. “Since we have no other water, we drink and cook from the stream.  I am learning to strain, or filter, it as best I can.”   I found this interesting because prisons at Andersonville used water that was clean before it came through the guard’s camp.  The guards used it for drinking washing, and for a toilet.  Then the water came to the prisoners.  It didn’t smell good or look good.  It made the prisoners sick.  This man tried to make it cleaner, so he could drink it.
