Biographical History

Alexander Thomas Sackett of Eddyville, Iowa served with Company B of the 8th Iowa Cavalry during the Civil War.

He served time in Andersonville Prison and possibly in either Florence Stockade or Salisbury Prison before being sent north on the U.S. Transport Steamer General Lyon. He died on the ship on April 1, 1865 when the ship caught fire during a hurricane.
