After the battle of Chickamauga, he was captured by Union forces from Indiana near Shelbyville, TN, on Oct 7, 1863, and sent to Camp Morton near Indianapolis. In March, 1865, he "took the oath", and was "galvanized" as a private in Co. C, 6th US Infantry, under Captain David Ezekial. His unit was sent by train to Fort Leavenworth, KS, then marched on foot to Fort Kearney, NT. He was discharged as medically unfit in January 11, 1866 and returned to his home in Owen County, KY.
