Emanuel Trostle (1838-1914). Trostle was one of eight local White men and a large but unknown number of Black freemen the rebels captured and forcibly took south when they retreated. The others were George Arendt, George Jean Codori, J. Crawford Gwinn, Alexander Harper, William Harper, George Patterson and Samuel Pitzer (aka Samuel Sitzer).Who was the Gettysburg civilian, whose property was the site of great carnage and sacrifice, taken prisoner of July 3 and detained during the retreat of the Army of Northern Virginia because of his knowledge of its condition and disposition?
