Notes:
Lived in Clarke Co. AL in 1830, later moved to Wilcox Co. AL.
Served as a private in Co. B 38th AL Infantry. Each man in Company B enlisted for three years or the war. They enlisted at Lower Peach Tree, Wilcox County, Alabama on March 29, 1862 and were paid a $50 bonus for signing.
James took part in the Battle of Chicamauga. Gen. Braxton Bragg's Confederate Army attacked Gen. William Rosencrans' Union Army forcing a Union retreat to Chattanooga, Tennessee. There were 34,000 total causalties. The 18,000 Confederate losses included 37 men from the 38th Alabama. In addition, 151 soldiers of the 38th were wounded and five were missing.
Missionary Ridge was the site of a major battle in the drive back to Chattanooga. Many members of the 38th Alabama were taken prisoner and sent to Rock Island.
James was captured on Nov. 25, 1863 at Missionary Ridge, TN according to his Civil War military records. On 11 December, 1863 he was received at the military prison in Louisville, KY, and was discharged to Rock Isle IL on 12 Dec. 1863.
James died a prisoner of war at Rock Island, IL, on 21 December 1863 of pneumonia and diarrhea. His buried in grave number 44 south of the prison barracks.
Rock Island Prison, built in 1863, was located on a government-owned island in the Mississippi River between Davenport, Iowa and Moline, Illinois. Over 12,000 Confederates were imprisoned there during the war. These included many 38th Infantry soldiers captured at Missionary Ridge.
The island facilities were converted and built in 1863; they were not yet completed in December of that year, when the first Confederate prisoners were incarcerated. The construction was makeshift. The first prisoners were 468 Confederates captured in battles at Chattanooga, Tennessee. That month more than 5,000 total would swell the population of Rock Island Prison.
Rock Island was not without its problems?ignominious punishments, inadequate facilities, malnutrition, and lack of basic supplies. At one time it was called the "Andersonville of the North." Most died from disease or exposure, as sanitation was primitive as in all army encampments. The prison camp operated from December 1863 until July 1865, when the last prisoners were freed.
