At the battle of Trevilian Station, Lieutenant Gordon was captured and taken to Point Lookout and thence to Fort Delaware. He remained at the latter place about two months, when he was taken to Morris island near Charleston harbor, and was there kept for two months under fire in retaliation for Federal officers said to be under fire in Charleston. From there he was taken to Pulaski, and retaliated on for treatment of Andersonville prisoners—by starvation. He suffered this harsh and needless cruelty at Morris island and Fort Pulaski for about six months, and then he was returned to Fort Delaware, where he remained until the latter part of June, 1865, when he was released.
