  1. Dan. I saw the write up your book. Very impressive work, which must not have been easy sourcing. I have quick question, unfortunately not on 85th Penn. I am doing research on great grandfather, Patrick Coleman, who was in 88th Regiment NY (aka Irish Brigade) that fought alongside the Army of the Potomac. He was captured June 22, 1864 in Petersburg (presumably Jerusalem Plank road. Record at 88th Reg just says “Paroled” with no date. I have been trying to figure out if imprisoned in Richmond or Andersonville but no success or was part of exchange agreement. I think I say on the write up on your book that prisoners from the 85th Penn went to Andersonville. Are you aware of any source material you can point me toward where I can do further checking. I know he survived. Record says mustered out Jan 4, 1865 “near Petersburg,” whatever that means. Thanks so much. John Hughes, McLean,VA
