I can't remember which book I found this information in except that it says the "Portrait and Biographical Record" pages 363-365, (I would love to find this book again - it may have been at the Historical Society in Lexington) entry for George A Chamblin in 1893, while he was still alive and living in Higginsville, Mo. it states that he was treated well by the Iowa men. He was taken to Sedalia, then to Jefferson City; three weeks later he was transferred to Gratiot Street Prison; then to Alton from there to Indianapolis, Ind., then on to Johnson Island, Lake Erie, arriving there in December where he met some of Morgan's men. George's next stop was Sandusky City, afterward to Cairo, Ill., and finally to Vicksburg by boat where he was "sick unto death, but recovered sufficiently to land with the other prisoners at Milliken's Bend, where the exchange of the captured was made."
After leaving Vicksburg the next stop was Jackson, Ms. where the prisoners heard Jefferson Davis speak. The trail continues back to Vicksburg Landing, then to Delhi to catch a train barely missing recapture, as the train left the station 2 hours earlier than expected. By boat they traveled to Camden, on the Ouachita River, then to Little Rock, where George enlisted with the 16th Missouri infantry.
George was on furlough in Northern Louisiana when General Lee surrendered. He returned to his command at Shreveport and surrendered.
Based on your comments and the fact that George's biography does say he enlisted with a company of 200 men, George was most likely not a bushwhacker as I had somewhat suspected he might be since no name had been given to the company he was with.
