My Crane ancestors in Missouri were POW's in Camp Chase, Indiana (Union or
Yankee prison depending on which side your family might have been at the
time)
My GGGGrandfather and his brother walked home to Palmyra, Mo.
His brother died shortly after getting home, my ancestor lived.

Subject: Unit Locations At Surrender

Thanks to all who responded to my query about how troops got home after the
surrender at Appomattox and other places. I wonder if any one has produced a
map showing what units were where in the CSA at the time of the surrender?
Getting home via a 2 day walk is one thing going from Appomattox to the
Valley, but McGowan's South Carolinians at Petersburg and various other
units from farther south must have had an incredible time getting back. One
wonders how many actually made it back as compared with those who died along
the road?
