Hello…I am a Great Great grandaughter of James Birdsell, company I 17th Regiment Ct. He was captured at the Battle of Gettysburg and sent to Richmond Va. July 21, 1863 College Green Barracks Annapolis, Md. Nov and Dec. Then to Camp Parole April 1864. He was an exchange prisioner and exchaged because of pleurisy. I am trying to find any picture of him for my family. We know where hes buried (locally). No family member have a picture and I thought perhaps since he was captured they might have taken pictures of prisioners. I’d appreciate any help. Thank you!!
Hi there –
Unfortunately photography in the Civil War was not used to document prisoners of war, so it is very unlikely that a photograph exists for him due to his capture.
