Can anyone help with verification on the following? In particular the
incident in Neosho, MO...find it kind of strange that he would be held
captive only 1 day. Also need to know if there's any online sources to
verify his positions at the Clay General Hospital and the 17th Army
Corps.

Charles Leonidas Carter, M.D. Found him listed in 6th MSM as assistant
surgeon with the middle initial S instead of L.

>From his bio:
In April 1863 he was made Assistant Surgeon of the Sixth Missouri State
Militia, after passing the army examination twenty four points higher
than the regulation required. In nine months he was promoted and put in
charge of Branch B of Clay General Hospital at Louisville, KY, and a
short time afterwards was called to the front and put in charge of the
sick and wounded of the Seventeenth Army Corps at Marietta, GA. When
Atlanta fell he went there, his services being in great demand, and
finally, in November 1864, he resigned on account of failing health, and

returned to Holden. October 4, 1863, while with the cavalry at Neosho,
MO, he was captured and held until the next morning, in the meanwhile
treating the enemy's wounded men.
