It sounds like Uncle Charlie did not have a pleasant stay while the AOT was encamped at Dalton, Ga. I wonder what sort of "hard labor" he was forced to do? I'm sure what ever it was, it was not pleasant.
He did later rise to the rank of Corporal, and at war's end was listed as "captured and paroled at Hartwell, Ga. May 19, 1865."
Thanks for all your help.
