To anyone who may be able to help,

Is there anyone who has a contact person with the 5th Wisconsin Infintry,Co.I,whom I could talk with to see if they have any info about my ancestor who fought with the unit at the Wilderness where he was captured. His name is Oliver Harwood and he spent the rest of the war in Andersonville Prison as well as Florence, S.C.Ihave a detailed account of his time there and also a picture of him in our family history book. Would like to share this piece of history with all to would like to know. In addition to this man I also had an ancestor who fought with a Ohio unit called the Obedyke Tigers during this period.Can anyone shed any light to this person.Can send names,dates ,battlefields,etc upon request?

The Hon.B.Robbins Harwood
