Thanks for the offer and the interesting info. The ones I know of survived, one Reb and one Union, though they both had brothers and other relatives, I know not who, but it is unlikely they were near Chicago. I didn't know about that camp, so thanks, again, for the info.

I did have a kind of neat thing happen one time while searching up ancestors on google. I came across a full Union uniform being sold at auction. It was in very good shape as it had been issued after my ancestor-in-law was let out of a Rebel prisoner camp. The man to whom it belonged was married to my maternal grandma's sister and they settled in Idaho. I have no idea how or why his uniform wound up being auctioned off, but it was neat to see the photos of it and I was able to add to the provenance they had.
