In Response To: Henry J. Carter ()

He enlisted in the 3rd AL Cavalry at Mt. Sterling, AL, September 25, 1861. Captured at Shelbyville, TN, June 27, 1863. POW at Fort Delaware and later at Point Lookout, MD. Released on oath of allegiance June 9, 1865.

In the file there is also a personal letter to his wife dated July 26, 1862. It's a long letter - haven't got the time to transcribe it and unable to reproduce it on this site.

Hope that helps.
