The following was made by A. G. Hamilton in 1893 and is considered the most accurate data of the escape.

"THE TUNNEL PARTY.

A complete list of the 109 Union officers that escaped through the tunnel on the night of Feb. 9, 1864, has never been compiled, but after long research the writer has secured the names of 104 men whom it is believed participated in that event. Some of them are living, many have passed away. Still others are missing. The living have been located in many cases, as will be seen by this list, and those that are known to be dead are reported so. The original tunneling party are designated by a star. Readers who can correct the list please address John L. Ransom, Libby Prison War Museum.
