His Seventy-fifth Indiana Infantry Volunteer regiment was sent south through Kentucky to foil threatening Confederate armies. They marched and skirmished into Tennessee and wintered in Murfreesboro. In the spring they participated in the Tullahoma Campaign, fought their way through Hoover's Gap, then marched on to Chickamauga. A major battle was fought there on September 19-20, 1863. Al was busily helping wounded soldiers off the battleground when his field hospital was captured. Al spent 14 months as a prisoner of war in four different Confederate prisons: Richmond, Danville, Andersonville, and Florence. Paroled at last, he rejoined his regiment in 1865.
