George W. Carmack, John Bell and Fount Holloway were paroled in January,
1863 {after their capture at Perryville, Ky.} They were landed near
Vicksburg,
Mississippi from which they were forwarded to Chattanooga. They were
absolutely
destitute in the shape of clothing. They had no change from August 1862.
until January 1863, except when they took off their old shirts to wash
them in cold water. They were literally crawling with what are now called
"cooties," little animals which were called by another name at that time.
On the arrival at Chattanooga - being on parole - they were detailed as
brakemen on the N.C. & St. L. Railway, where they remained until April
1863, when they left and rejoined their command at Shelbyville, Tennessee.
