The river switched courses, and Beth and everyone, I had found this site a couple of months ago when looking at the Tishomingo County, MS site: http://www.altonweb.com/history/civilwar/confed/index.html This page gives a history of the Alton, IL prison, as well as a search engine to find the Confederate soldiers who died here.
