"My 17 year old great grandfather was captured at Franklin while he and another 17 year old were behind the firing line holding the horses and like a pair of 17 year olds, not paying close enough attention. He spent the rest of the war at Douglas prison. The Andersonville of the North and survived it."

I've posted the full story before, but my great uncle Francis Boring was captured at Roswell, Georgia while at home recuperating from a serious wound suffered at Spottsylvania in May, 1864. He was captured July 11 and ended up at Camp Douglas several days later. He was paroled in late June 1865, and walked home. His pension application goes into great detail about his wound, and his claim that exposure at Camp Douglas gave him rheumatism. Each year the applications got shorter, until, in 1924, his widow said, "He went to the war and it killed him." She got the pension, and died later that year. Stan
