During the Civil War fourteen inmates of Andersonville Prison, on August 20, 1864, bowed in prayer to the Almighty that He/She would send them water; and a spring broke out on the outside of the wall and ran through the prison. The people there were unanimous in their belief that it was of divine origin, the water in the nearby stream fearfully unwholesome. The spring is reported to be still flowing.

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in our philosophy." -Shakespeare (or was it F. Bacon?)
