Re: John Harlow, 22nd AL Infantry

Paul --

No Confederate soldier captured during Wilson's raid was sent north to a prison camp. Most were paroled on site; others were released on parole at Macon GA. Much of the time Wilson's men were moving rapidly from one point to another, and had no time to be troubled with such. In any case, no rail line existed from Wilson's locations in Alabama and Georgia from which prisoners could be shipped north.

If there are additional records for this man, they are most likely filed under one spelling or another in the National Archives collection, Miscellaneous Slips and Papers. War Department clerks ran out of time and pateince, and this collection is what remained of the soldier-related papers.
