His name was Emelius Woods Fuller and he did indeed captain the C. S. S. Cotton at Fort Bisland and was wounded in both arms during a gun battle with four union gunboats after his recovery from those wounds he captained the captured Queen of the West which was sunk on april 14, 1863 near Charenton, La. He was captured and sent to a POW camp at Fort Delaware then later to Johnson's Island, Ohio where he died. He was originally from Ohio but came to Louisiana and lived in the Atchafalaya basin where he had a lumber business and built boats suitable to navigate the basin. He was also a State Representative and when the war broke out he sided with the south. After the war his body was removed from Johnson's Island Cemetery and re-interred in Rome, Ohio where he was born. I also have written his biography.
