      "January 3 to 7, 1864, the Regiment was transferred to Port Hudson. For some time the Regiment was without tents or shelter, in the mud, rain and snow, and suffered intensely, remained here doing outpost duty and scouting and skirmishing almost daily, until July 3. " From: civilwar.ilgenweb.net/history/118.html

      Yost would have been from Hamilton County, IL under Captain A. W. Marsh.
