Ed,
Thanks for your quick reply! I appreciate your help with this. I assume you are from the Savannah area. By any chance do you know of a local historian who has information about the C.S. prisoners that were exchanged? Were they sent back to their units of origin, or formed into a local "defense corps" to help guard the city against Sherman? Or were they just turned loose? I doubt the latter, as these men were still under military command and discipline. Thanks for any help you can give, or someone I could be referred to...
Sincerely,
Mark
