William Fogg of Bath, also in the Navy, was taken prisoner at the mouth of the Rappahannock River. He was held in Libby, then Danville, then moved several more times.
He recalls Union efforts to free prisoners and Confederates taking prisoners with them, hoping it would prevent the Union forces from firing on them.
He also recalled, in 1888, "Have seen the time if I could have got to the old swill pail and got the potato pealings and refuse stuff to Eat, it would indeed have been a treat. Tongue cannot tell neither can imagination picture what we suffered bodily and mentally."
