--------------------------------------------------------------
Civil War veteran
Served as a Private in Co. F of the 12th Massachusetts Infantry from June 26, 1861 until Nov. 7, 1863 when he was taken prisoner near Morrisville, VA. He was held as a prisoner at Richmond, VA from Nov. 14, 1863 until Feb. 10, 1864 when he was one of the first Union prisoners sent to the infamous Andersonville Prison in Georgia. He survived the experience and was paroled at N.E. Ferry near Wilmington, NC between February 26th and 28th 1865. He arrived at Camp Parole at Annapolis, MD on March 10, 1865 and then home to Massachusetts where he was mustered out of military service at Boston on March 27th.
The U.S. government recognized the suffering and deprivation experienced not only by Nathan, but all Union soldiers who were held in Southern prisons, and showed its appreciation by granting him and other survivors three months additional pay.
