My g-g-grandfather, Sgt. Robert F. Sales, Co. A, 1st Arkansas Infantry was captured at Franklin on 11-30-1864 after part of their regiment breached the Union defenses near the Cotton Gin. He was marched with several other prisoners to Nashville the next day...then by train to Louisville, then finally to Camp Douglas, IL for the remainder of the war, before being relased in June 1865.

I am looking for any additional information about exactly where he might have been captured and by whom...and any other info related to this regiment at the battle of Franklin.
