AbstractThe family, originally spelling their name as Ermentraudt, immigrated to America in 1739. Selim served in the Confederate Army, became ill or was wounded in 1863 during the Vicksburg siege, and was later arrested at his home in Greene County, Tennessee, by Union soldiers. Describes conditions experienced by prisoners of war at camps during the time Selim was being held. This biographical sketch was gleaned from army service records and other records from the Civil War.
