Happy to see Pt Lookout added John Quick's name. I ordered his service record by mistake a few years ago thinking he was a lineal relative. The National Archive record arrived which revealed he was wounded at Ft.Fisher the day it fell Jan 15, 1865. He died of complications of that wound on March 9, 1865, one month before Lee surrendered. I wrote Lookout who had no record of his death. This is far more common than we realize. Geo.Levy, author of To Die In Chicago: The Camp Douglas Story found evidence of under reported deaths at both Douglas in Chicago and Elmira in NY. An estimated 30,000 Southerners died as POWs in yankee prisons and the largest mass grave in the Western Hemisphere is in Oakwood Cemetery, Chicago and contains the remains of 4200 known Confederate POWs. another 1800 are unknown. Pt Lookout would not amend their records on my word alone so I sent the National Archive copy I obtained. As a sad footnote the Supreme Court last week refused to hear the case of a Lookout descendant who at his own expense wanted to fly a Battle flag over the graves of our POWs there. John Quick was on one of three steamers of SC reenforcements who were being rushed to Ft.Fisher as the yankees closed in on it in Jan 1865. Two turned back but the third made their landing when these brave lads from SC trained their own rifles on the crew and threatened them with certain death if they ran. That last steamer beached their determined rebels who were all killed or captured.(Source: Confederate Goliath by Rod Gragg) Such is the blood that runs in our veins. Steve Quick
