This case is a miracle!!

Lieutenant Breedlove was sent from Letterman General Hospital at Gettysburg to the West Building General Hospital in Baltimore arriving 10 NOV 1863. From there he was sent to Fort McHenry and confined on 2 MAR 1864. He was later transferred to Fort Delaware on 15 JUN 1864 arriving the next day. Selected for the Immortal 600 ordeal, he left Fort Delaware on 20 AUG 1864 for Hilton Head. He arrived at Fort Pulaski on 20 OCT 1864. He was then paroled and delivered to Confederate authorities in Charleston Harbor on 15 DEC 1864. Promoted to Captain to rank from 6 MAY 1864, he was furloughed home as a paroled prisoner of war and designated as permanently diabled.

Breedlove was a resident of Tuskegee, Alabama, a clerk by occupation, and 20 years of age when he enrolled as an Alabama volunteer on 28 APR 1861 in Tuskegee. He was 4SGT of Company B, 4th Alabama Infantry when mustered into Confederate service at Lynchburg, Virginia on 7 MAY 1861. Promoted to Orderly Sergeant (aka 1st Sergeant) in the fall of 1861, he was elected 3rd Lieutenant on 28 APR 1862 and promoted to 1st Lieutenant on 16 MAR 1863.

Thanks for finding and posting this medical record! I wonder what his life was like after the war?
