David J. Coles |
On July 8, 1862 twenty-nine year old Charles L. Sewell enlisted in
company G, 1st Florida Infantry. He was severely wounded in the left
arm at Franklin in November 1864, necessitating amputation. The operation
was performed on December 2, 1864 by Surgeon Roberts of the 1st Alabama.
In mid-December Sewell was captured by Union troops following their victory
at Nashville. He was imprisoned first at Louisville, Kentucky, and
was subsequently sent to Camp Chase, Ohio and in March 1865 to Point Lookout,
Maryland. The Federals released Sewell on June 6, 1865. Unfortunately,
no information had been located on Sewell’s life before or after the war. |
