We are in the last stages of the transportation museum. I am need your help to answer a question about Croxton's raid. Were men in Croxton's cavalry previously POW's at the Tuscaloosa prison? I have read something like this before, but can't find a source to verify the claim.

Thank you,

John

Tell ya what, John,
That's a super question & all ya have to do is find the roll of Federal prisoners who were held here & compare them with the rolls of the 2nd Michigan Calvary, the 6th Kentucky Calvary & the 8th Iowa in April of '65.

A more important question to me is why the Yankees were so HOT to burn the University. They didn't burn UVA.

Could it be that our students were responsible for killing more Yankees than anyone could think possible?
I think so.
