Comments: You have a wonderful and informative site. It is well laid out and easy to navigate which I do appreciate. While researching the death of Albert Sidney Johnston I came across your site. I am researching the 2nd Illinois Volunteer Cavalry. Specifically Company A which is the company of a soldier whose diary I have. This soldier found Gen'l Johnston's body in a tent while following retreating Southern troops and called his Lt. who placed a Union guard over it.
Anyway...Keep up the GREAT work!

Comments: Thank you for making this treasure available to the public. My great-grandfather Conrad Bertsch was a young Texas German (18-20 years old) from Fayetteville, Texas (near Houston) when he fled across the border and joined the Union army at Matamoras. Based on a story passed down 3 generations, I have reason to believe that Conrad was captured on a scouting mission in Louisiana and imprisoned at Camp Ford for a brief time. According to the story, Conrad and three buddies escaped by lifting some posts from the stockade (undoubtedly on one of those dark and rainy nights so vividly described in these writings). He made it back to Fayetteville but soon re-joined his company. He was captured again in June 1864 at the battle of Las Rucias (Ranch) near Brownsville, Texas, along with several other members of 1st Texas Cavalry Union. They were taken to Camp Groce, an experience that included a few days at Camp Gillespie and several weeks at Camp Felder. Conrad's name is on the roster of prisoners published in Danial Lisarelli's book THE LAST PRISON, THE UNTOLD STORY OF CAMP GROCE. According to the book, Camp Gillespie and Camp Felder were infamous death camps, much worse than Camp Ford. Conrad was less than 40 miles from home at Camp Felder and Camp Groce, but he would not have been well or strong enough to attempt an escape - nor was there a stockade at Camp Groce, Felder or Gillespie - they were kept in an open field. Conrad's company was exchanged six months later at Galveston, in December 1864. There are two unnamed prisoners from 1st Cavalry Texas listed on Camp Ford's web site - perhaps he was one of them. If you know anything more about 1st Texas Cavalry at Camp Ford, my extended family and myself would sure appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks again,
Weldine Dossett

Comments: My sister found the site looking "just for fun" for info on our great grandfather John W. Frazee (our mother is Vivian V. Jenkins (nee Frazee)and we have the picture of him that appears as a stamp on your picture of a reunion of OVI veterans. That stamp has always been on the corner of a picture of our mother's father John Edwin Frazee. We were always amazed that they did things like postage stamp size pictures back then! We knew he was a Captain in the Civil War, but it is so special to see his records on your site, thank you very much. We have a full figure picture of him in his uniform - can we submit it? Also, we would love to hear from anyone else related to him - our mother's father always said anyone with the name "Frazee" with that spelling is related somehow. Please let us know how to submit the pictures we have, again, many thanks for having this wonderful websit!

My great-granduncle, John Klinefelter Hepburn was in the 77th Ohio and fell at Fallen Timbers on April 8, 1862.
Joseph E. Long, my 2nd great-grandfather?s brother, was with the Ohio 77th when was taken prisoner by Confederate forces at Marks Mills, Arkansas on April 25, 1864 and imprisoned at Camp Ford, Tyler, Texas. Joseph died on or about August 3, 1864, was buried at Camp Ford and was re-interred in Alexandria National Cemetery in Pineville, Louisiana in 1867.
Thanks,

Comments: I was born and raised in the Cincinnati area and once lived in the "small stone house" way back in the early thirty's. The property was then owmned by Wes and Mrs Mertle Rahn and their two children. We used to frequent the "big" stone house which was then used as a tool storage and pig house by the tobbaco growers who dried the leaves in the big barn behind the big house etc. Dr Pinkfoss was the next house on the other side of the big house and he was rtelated to the Rahn family. Those were good days for a small child and I was pleasantly surprised by the photos. It does mean that Wes Rahn has passed on and the DAR or some other historical group has acquired most or all of the propertys as it should. There is a feature across the road from the little stone house that most will miss unless looking for it. It's a stone outcrop in the shape of a chair that we used to imagine was the old indian chief's sitting place. I can remember lying awake at night and hearing the B&O trains with their plaintive whistles, chuffing up and down the tracks just behind and to the west of us.
Thank you so much for the trip down memory lane.
Best regards: Ms Carrie Jenkins

Some how the military lists never show him enlisting but your list lets us know that he died 12 Oct 1862 at Corinth. While the family remembers, it's good to know someone else does too. Of the three brothers who fought, only my Great Grandfather Thomas survived the war.

Comments: While attending a local antiques show I came across and purchased a civil war era document--a final pay voucher for Private Josiah Washburn of the 48th Ohio, Co. I, who was discharged on Jan 26, 1863. Since that time I have been researching both the regiment and Private Washburn, obtaining copies of his military records from the National Archives (I'm still awaiting pension related information, if any). What I have found out to-date has led to more questions. First though, the following is what the military records tell me: 12/25/61: Enlisted 1/1/62: Transferred from Co. B to Co. I 2/27/62: Deserted from Camp Dennison, OH 8/8/62: Appeared on muster roll of convalescents forwarded from Louisville Barracks, KY to join his regiment 8/15/62: Rejoined regiment from desertion at Fort Pickering, Memphis, TN 12/20/62: Left sick at Fort Pickering 1/26/63: Discharged by surgeon's certificate due to bad ulcer on left leg before entering service, from General Hospital, Memphis, TN My main question at this point is why he would have deserted, only to rejoin his regiment about 6 months later? Since he rejoined his regiment after being forwarded from some type of convalescent facility, it's unclear as to how he would have gotten to this facility in Kentucky as a deserter (unless it was also some type of prison). Seems more likely that instead of deserting, perhaps he was ill and was sent to a hospital. Furthermore, his final pay voucher (that I acquired at the antiques show) indicates that he was paid for all 12 months of service in 1862 plus through Jan 26, 1863. Why would the army pay a deserter for 6 months that he was gone? I don't expect anyone out there to have exact answers to these questions, but if you have any information at all that may help to explain some of these apparent inconsistencies, or any information at all on Private Washburn, I would be very grateful. Please email me at the above address. Thank you, in advance.

Comments: Upon hearing from my cousin, Pat Fagen, I was interested in opening this page and reading up about both my great,great grandfather, Captain Thomas Montgomery and the Vicksburg battles. I was presented his mustering-out ceremonial sword about 20 years ago from my uncle Monty from Ohio. I have done some digital photography of this sword and its sheath along with the tattered sash which most likely was worn in the mustering in 1865. It was an honor to be given this sword and I'll cherish it forever. Mr Worth has put some of my photos onto this web site.

I've really enjoyed reading about the different regiments and how they've worked over the years to keep the memories alive. I would love to go to a re-enactment sometime... but I think I'm on the wrong side of the states for that, and don't anticipate traveling that far from home anytime soon *smiles*. Well, maybe someday I will make it that far and see one. Thanks for letting me visit your site.

Comments: My ancestor, John W. Aber, was in the 48th. I just found that out by looking him up on this website. That's 3 ancestors in the Civil War on the Union side. The other two were in the Kentucky 4th regiment. One of them was a POW at Andersonville and the other one was wounded at Vicksburg. All of them are heroes to me, as none of them had it easy. Their memory must be kept alive as a testiment to freedom and to fighting for a just cause. This is a very good website! Keep up the good work! From a proud great-granddaughter and great-great-granddaughter of Civil War veterans.

Comments: I was thrilled and gratified to find my great-grandfather's account of his experiences in the civil war, and had no idea that he had written these memoirs. What a treasure! His service was in the most difficult terrain, and in the wet wintry weather as well as the hot, dry summers of the south. It is said in his obituary that his health was adversly affected by this experience, and he couldn't return to farming, and tried various endeavors to make a living. He was entrusted with many positions of trust and honor by the community of Lynchburg, such as corporation clerk, member of the board of education, member and clerk of the water works and electric light board, board of trustees, and secretary and treasurer of the Methodist Episcopalian church, U.S. Storekeeper and Dist. Deputy Collector in the employ of the national government. He was elected Secretary of the 48th Ohio Association every year since its organization, and gave much time and attention to the interests of the Society. Quoted from his obituary in the Lynchburg Record, Jul 18,1907: In all relations of life, he showed himself to be a man of ability, of firm purpose, of strong convictions and sterling integrity. He was a loving and indulgent father, a faithful and devoted husband. After 6 months of, at times, intense suffering, he gladly and willingly answered the last summons. Life's work well done, Life's race well run, Now comes rest. A Comrade What a treasure I have, don't you agree?

One is a Fort Sumter 48th OVI reunion book (the cover is made from wood of Fort Sumter). It's autographed by many officers and has a handwritten note inside with Joseph W. Lindsey's name. We think he's related to us (this must have been valuable to him and he had no living children) and just received his pension file.. wonderful stuff and names of several 48th OVI soldiers who wrote affidavits to him (injured at Shiloh).

I have a picture of him from that era but not in uniform. He died in 1910. My mother remembered seeing him before he died. I also have my great great grandfather's copy of Major Bering's history of the 48th. My great great grandfather was wounded at Sabine Cross Roads, and of course, was among the POW's at that time. My mother was from Clinton County, Ohio, near Wilmington, the daughtger of Jessie Thompson, a farmer. She left Ohio when she married my dad in 1932.

I think that Harvey Lieurance, who was in the same Company may be his brother. After the Civil War, Parker brought his Wedding Suit home in a wood suitcase. It is in the Museum at Council Grove, Morris County, Kansas. Parker moved to Kansas and settled near Paxico Kansas around 1870. Harvey settled near Tecumseh, Kansas. He was killed in a Trolley Car and wagon wreck in Topeka, Kansas. Harvey had at least one son - Willie (William?). Keep up your wonderful work.

Comments: Don, I've enjoyed your website for over 2 years and certainly appreciate all the work that you, Steve Williams and others have and are continuing to put into it. I'm particularly grateful because of a rather incredible (to me, at least) event. I had sent you some information on my G G Grandfather, Levi J. Reed of Company A. Soon afterward I heard from a very kind visitor to your site that his brother-in-law in Texas had a medal with Levi J. Reed's name on it. He also managed to get and send a scan which showed that the medal was a Ladder Badge with a shield bearing Levi's name. It turns out the brother-in-law had found the badge as a boy when tearing down a building in Columbus, Ohio in the late 1950s. Bottom line is , I now have the badge back in my collection and am grateful to your website and those who helped me find this piece of family history. Regards, Ralph

As I looked through each of them, I kept saying to myself, Please let this be the regiment my grandfather was in - the records are so complete and so informative. I didn't find him, but maybe I will the next time I visit. You do such nice work! It shows your respect for the people you're documenting.

Comments: I am the great-great grandson of George Trostel, who is in your photo gallery. My dad has been researching him for years. We had never seen a picture of him until this one was added to your collection. I noticed that in your roster list of Company F, it says George enlisted in 1864. George was an original member of Company F, fought in the battle of Shiloh and many others, and was captured at the battle of Sabine Crossroads. He re-enlisted in 1864, I believe. As I said, my father has his entire Civil War record. Thank you for all the work you put into this site. I did not ever expect to see an image of my great-great gr

Comments: My Great Great Grandfather was in the 48th, Co. A. You have him listed as J.W. Lieker, but his obituary says F.W. Lieker. He was originally from the Cincinatti area and was conscripted on emigration from Germany. I wonder if this is the same Lieker? Great site! Regards, Eddie Leiker

William was killed and his brother was captured at Sabine Crossroads. May they rest in peace. This site is the best one I've seen. Kevin O'Connor

Comments: An excellent web page. Very helpful and informative. My g-g-grandfather was Capt. James Edward Sowry, of the 48th Ohio Volunteers, captured at Sabine Cross-Roads. The family story is that he unraveled his socks to use as thread to sew their flag into fellow officer Capt. Gunsaulis's coat, he being the only officer captured who still had a coat with him. My second son is named James Edward Sowry, III, after his g-g-g-grandfather.

I would be very interested if you had any more information on them. I know very little about them and suspect that they both saw heavy action at Shiloh and Vicksburg because there was no feedback from Joseph after the war. My Grandfather had another Uncle who fought in the 59th Ohio at Stones River, Chickamauga, Shiloh, Corinth, Kenesaw Mountain, Atlanta, etc. Do you have anything on Company D of the 59th?? Please reply if you have time. Kevin O'Connor
