Thomas F. Harney

[STS Lincolnite]

On page 418-419 of Come Retribution (I am summarizing):
Harney a native of Pennsylvania
Was at one time a school teacher
Had been a lieutenant in the 6th MO Infantry
Enlisted in Confederate Army on 1 May 1862 at Corinth, MS
Wounded 3 Oct 1862, returned to duty and was captured
Was held at Gratiot St. Prison in St. Louis until 2 June 1863
He was then sent to City Point, VA for exchange
Upon release he was picked up by General Raines and used on multiple assignments in MS, SC and AL
In March 1865 he was in Richmond
From there he organized a party to join Mosby

We know most of the rest about his capture and imprisonment.

Assuming this is really all the same guy, he really seems to get around. I have found several cards for Thomas F. Harney on Fold3 related to his service in Missouri Outfits. Will have to try to get more info next time I am at the Archives.

No wonder this guy has been hard to track down. Lots of Thomas Harneys and looks like the one we want moved around a whole bunch. Add to that he probably lied through his teeth half the time as a "covert operative". Hard to tell truth from fiction.
