On a recent thread about David Yulee the name of Governor Abraham Allison was mentioned.I must admit not much is known about him (by me anyway). He had just assumed office in the last month of the war following the death of Florida's Governor John Milton on April 1, 1865. He was captured on June 29, 1865 and imprisoned at Fort Pulaski for several months. He was one of the ex Confederate Personalities held in various prisons following the war.A little bit of input may help others learn about this "lesser" known Civil War Personality.
