I am looking for repositories that hold the records from the Camp Ford Confederate POW camp near Tyler, Texas. Specifically, I am looking for additional information on 3 individuals who were captured officers of the 1st Kansas Colored Volunteers (subsequently designated the 79th USCT). Two of the officers were acknowledged as belonging to the 1st KCV but evidence shows that one of the officers stated he was an enlisted man belonging to an Iowa regiment...

I have seen a couple of memoirs written by other prisoners held in that Camp and am wondering if the actual records of the POW Camp survived.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
