The Rebels treated him with studied indignity.

They utterly refused to recognize him as an officer, or even as a man.

Instead of being sent to Macon or Columbia, where the other officers were, he was sent to Andersonville, the same as an enlisted man.

No care was given his wound, no surgeon would examine it or dress it.

He was thrown into a stock car, without a bed or blanket, and hauled over the rough, jolting road to Andersonville.
Once a Rebel officer rode up and fired several shots at him, as he lay helpless on the car floor.
