1860 Census McMinn Co. 16-269
Fought with the 29th Tennessee Co. A rank was Pvt.
Captured at Missionary Ridge 11/25/1863. Buried grave #654,
south of prison barracks Rock Island Confederate Prison, Rock
Island, Illinois.
Rock Island Barracks (IL) Military Prison, 1863-1865.
Union's westernmost POW camp, located on an island in the
Mississippi between Rock Island, IL
and Davenport, IA. Originally the site of Ft. Armstrong
(1816-36); after the War, it became the
permanent site of the Rock Island Arsenal. Ordered to be built
in July 1863 but still not
completed when about 5,000 prisoners arrived in December. From
then until the end of the War,
there were 5,000 to 8,000 prisoners at all times. High fence
enclosed 84 barracks, each with
its own cookhouse. Adequate clothing and usually adequate food
rations, but water was scarce
and occasionally nonexistent. Major outbreaks of smallpox from
the beginning; inadequate
medical care and no hospital ward. Prisoner labor constructed
sewers and a waterworks (for
which they were paid a small amount on the sutler's account
books). Several small but
successful escape attempts in mid-1864. Many prisoners took the
Oath in Dec 1863 and were
"galvanized" into the Union army to fight Indians; loyal
Confederates resisted this by
reenlisting their own men (whose terms of enlistment had expired
while they were imprisoned).
Conditions deteriorated in late 1864 and local newspapers began
editorially comparing Rock
Island to Andersonville (two editors who did so were arrested
and imprisoned by Federal
authorities for disloyalty and sedition). During the 20 months
it operated, Rock Island held a
total of 12,400 prisoners; 1,960 died in confinement, 41
escaped, 5,580 were paroled home, and
approx. 4,000 enlisted in the Union army. About 200 civilian
political prisoners from Missouri
also were housed there late in the War. Prison barracks were
empty by July 1865 and served as
ordnance barracks for the Arsenal until 1909. Confederate and
National Cemeteries are still
maintained there.
I have found that the 48th Illinois Infantry fought at the
battle of Missionary Ridge which may help explain how James was
sent to an Illinois POW camp. Over 3,000 Confederate prisoners
were taken during the battle.1860 Census McMinn Co. 16-269
