Yankee-eating alligators

Recently came across an account of a Yankee soldier (26th Maine) being drowned by a fifteen and a half foot alligator in Vermillion Bayou. Anyone know of any other stories of Union soldiers being eliminated by the local wildlife? This has the potential for a really interesting presentation.
