Hi Alan,
I do intend to research, "Camp Townsend" further but I appreciate your help and I will let you know if I find anything different, though I believe you are right because my husband said he thought Camp Townsend was somewhere near Vicksburg. I did not think the site was accurate but I thought I would try and consult with someone from the board, since there are so many Civil War experts here!!
Thank You,
Theresa Scriber
