Hello,
New recruit falling in. My great great grandfather served in the 1st California / 71st PVI.
He was wounded in the West Woods at Antietam.
Captured at The Angle during Picketts Charge at Gettysburg.
Prisoner at Belle Island on the James River in Richmond.
Exchanged and spent time at Parole Camp outside Annapolis. (The area is now called Parole)
Transferred to the 69th PVI when the 71st was mustered out.
Served as hospital orderly in 69th.
Spent his last days at Old Soldiers Home in Elizabeth City, Va.
Interred at Louden Park National Cemetery, Baltimore, Md.
I reenact in the 1st California / 71st PVI.
