A reported 15 Confederate Chaplains and 106 Surgeons/Assistant Surgeons who stayed behind after the battle of Gettysburg to tend to their wounded in area hospitals were captured and eventually detained at Fort McHenry. They were evidently all released on 21 November 1863 and boarded the steamer Swan for onward exchange. I have identified nearly 50 Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons and 14 Chaplains who were taken prisoner in this manner, the latter whom I have listed below. (I am presuming they all went to Fort McHenry.) Any further information would be appreciated on this unique group of prisoners.
