A listing of sick and wounded rebels on "Magonila"

For those of you who may have an interest in viewing the newspaper the "Cincinnati Gazette" with the listings of the sick and wounded Confederates brought back from Shiloh you may look at them on google at Camp 1535 Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery. You will have to scroll down to Historical Articles and Documents and then look for Confederate wounded and sick brought to Camp Dennison from Shiloh on the USS Magnolia on April 17, 1862

The Cincinnati Gazette April 18, 1862 page 1 column 7, "Some of the names and units are incorrect under caption SICK AND WOUNDED REBELS. The USS Magnolia left Pittsburg Landing on April 14, 1862 at 12:30 pm with 250 wounded Union and Confederates. 57 were Confederates. The "Magnolia pulled into a dock on the Ohio River in Cincinnati, Ohio and they were taken by rail on the Little Miami Railroad to Camp Dennison.

There will be many more documents posted in the future and it is the hope that some new information may be gained for those doing research with Camp Chase. The site was thrown together rather quickly and may have some grammar issues. For right now my main focus is with the dead of Camp Chase biographies.
