  1. One of these men might actually be my great-great uncle, William Henry Harrison Linzy, Company E, 11th Tennessee Infantry. Wounded and captured at Missionary Ridge on November 25, 1863, he was in the first group of prisoners imprisoned at Rock Island and remained there for the duration of the war.
