My essential question is this: would a captured member of the 3rd Louisiana Regiment, after either the battle of Iuka or Corinth, find himself shipped up-river and eventually interred at camp Douglas,IL, the "Andersonville of the North"? If not, where might he have been sent? To a temporary holding pen near the battle site perhaps? To Alton? Does anyone know where such prisoners were in fact sent?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Peter Melman
