The way it was told to me, he was captured at the battle of Vicksburg, released and told to go home. He rejoined his regiment and at the battle of Chigamauga, on Missionary Ridge, he was wounded and captured again. He was imprisoned at Rock Island, Illinois for two years, and a cripple for life. Wish I had known him.
