  I, too, have an ancestor who was wounded and captured at Gettysburg.  He was
  taken to David's Island, NY Harbor where he was hospitalized and later
  traded in a prisoner exchange.  He served the remainder of the war in the
  Invalid Corps.  I haven't been able to find a lot about the medical
  treatment at this hospital.  There are supposed to be written records from
  one of the medical staff.  Does anyone know where these might be found?
