wish to respond to the following post that was written by Hugh Simmons of the Fort Delaware Society:
The only Confederates present at Citronelle, Alabama on May 4, 1865 were General Taylor and his staff who traveled down on a rail push car. The bulk of the army units were at Meridian and Jackson, and others were scattered over Alabama, Mississippi and eastern Louisiana. Hugh Simmons

My 2nd great grandfather, James Hardison Harris was a member of Dardon's Flying Artillery out of Mississippi. He as well as the 39 remaining members of his unit were taken prisoner at Citronelle on May 4, 1865. He received his pardon on May 11, 1865. I have a copy of the documentation. Could you please explain this to me?
