Co A

Private Gabriel OLSEN

B: ca. 1832 in Kristiansand, Norway. Enlisted at Mobile, Ala., in Co. C, 3rd Alabama Volunteer Militia on 4 Mar 62. Discharged on 25 Mar 62 as unfit for duty. Again enrolled at Mobile 16 Aug 62 in Co. A, 24th Alabama Infantry. Formally enlisted at Bardstown, Ky., 1 Oct 62 for the war. Straggled on the retreat from Kentucky 9 Oct 62 and was captured by the Federals. Forwarded to Gallatin, Tenn., from Camp Dick Robinson, Ky., 25 Oct 62. Apparently exchanged shortly after 18 Nov 62. Absent sick in General Hospital, Mobile, Ala., Dec 62 through Feb 63. Discharged for disability 27 Feb 63 (Surgeon's Certificate). The regimental officers apparently believed that he had deserted and caused him to be dropped from the rolls of the 24th Alabama by General Orders no. 13 (dated Tullahoma, Tenn., 28 Jan 63), although medical records clearly show that he was at this time in hospital in Mobile. Left Mobile for New Orleans in early March 64. Took the oath of allegiance to the United States at New Orleans on 16 Mar 64 under the name of Gabriel Alston. Claimed exemption from the Federal draft 28 Apr 65 by reason of having deserted from the 24th Alabama on 4 March 64, obviously a false claim, as he received a discharge from the C.S. army on 27 Feb 63. Description: 5' 7" tall, fair complexion, blue eyes, by occupation a shoemaker.
