Thanks to Sue Morgan for hosting this new CW-POW list. Thanks to Josie, too, for all the information she's sharing (on other lists as well). I haven't shared any information yet, but have read all of yours with great interest and appreciation. My g-g-grandfather, William A. D. Brown, was in the 38th Georgia Inf. CO. F. He enlisted in Hart Co., GA in 1861, was captured at Gettysburg on July 1, 1862, and sent to Fort Delaware Prison for a few months. He was then transferred to Point Lookout, MD, and was there for close to a year. In August, 1864, while he was enroute to Elmira Prison in New York, the train carrying the prisoners collided with another train. There were many deaths and numerous injuries, and W. A. D. Brown was among the injured. He survived his injuries, and was imprisoned at Elmira, where he remained until the end of the war. All the above information was on his military records except info about his train crash injuries. That information was on his pension application. I have other ancestors who were in the CSA, however, with very little information on military records. Military records are notorious for errors, too, which makes research much more difficult. After a lot of searching and working, it seems to be just plain good luck when you find detailed information on any records, particularly CSA records. There are some very good, informative sites on the three prisons mentioned above, as well as the train crash. I'm including a link to the Elmira Prison Camp OnLine Library. From this site, you can link to other Prisons, and, I believe, the train crash. <A HREF="http://www.innova.net/~vsix/elmiradoc1.htm">Elmira Prison Camp OnLine Library</A> http://www.innova.net/~vsix/elmiradoc1.htm Barbara Klaffke barbekay@aol.com
