Shirley, In a message dated 12/23/98, you sent the following: <<Hi Anne, I think you intended to send this to CW-POW-L , but it,s addressed to me. You seem to have a lot of information about Point Lookout that I have never seen anywhere before. I would like to take you up on your offer to do lookups in the book that you have, I appreciate it very much. My gggrandfather enlisted in Tenn.; Morristown. Pvt. Elisha Chaney, 60th Tenn Mtd Inf., Co. A or H He died there Dec 24, 1863. Where did you get the medical information? Happy Holidays and Thanks again---- Shirlet>> Your ancestor, Pvt. Elisha Chaney, Company A, 60th Tennessee Infantry Regiment is listed in Edwin Beitzell's book, which, incidentally can be ordered online through Amazon.com. It's title is Point Lookout Prison Camp for Confederates. I don't recall the price, but you can access the site and it will tell you how much. I got the medical information by requesting my gggrandfather's military records from NARA, the National Archives in Washington, DC. You have to request a form from them, fill it out and return it to them. After that they will send you all records they have on your ancestor. There is a small fee, but I cannot remember how much; they will tell you however, before you place your request. I would suspect that he died of a type of fever, such as my gggf did as the camp was a breeding ground for all types of diseases and very little medical attention was given to Southerners. If you buy the book and read it, you will be disgusted at the treatment given the Southerners. Pt. Lookout Prison Camp was ten times worse than the Confederate's Andersonville Prison in Georgia, made so popular to hate by movies, books, etc., all aimed to make the Confederates out to be devils of the worst kind... I don't know where you live, but if you can ever get to Maryland, do try to visit Point Lookout. It is a sobering experience! Anne
