Damned lucky to only have been captured after the slaughter in the 2nd battle. Someone has done digital analysis of the photo record of that scene, inclusive of the headless fellow determined to be a CSA officer. War is certainly Hell.
He wasn’t all that lucky. After being taken to the Old Capitol Prison he was paroled and he returned to his unit in time for Gettysburg.
The 13th Mississippi was with Longstreet facing Dan Sickle’s exposed Union salient at the Peach Orchard. On the evening of July 2nd the 13th conducted a powerful charge through the Union lines and drove them back to Cemetery Ridge. My ancestor was killed in that battle, as was General Barksdale.
