Sneden, Robert Knox, 1832-1918
Sneden was born in Nova Scotia and later moved to New York City, where, in the summer of 1861, he enlisted in the 40th New York Infantry Regiment, serving with the Army of the Potomac in Virginia during the Peninsula Campaign and the Seven Days' Battles, and in Washington, D.C., as a topographical engineer on the staff of Maj. Gen. Samuel P. Heintzelman. Captured by Mosby's Rangers in November 1863, he spent the next thirteen months as a prisoner of war in various Confederate prisons including Andersonville. Exchanged in December 1864, he was discharged and returned to New York City, where he compiled a diary/memoir and a scrapbook documenting his experiences. He died at the Soldiers Home in Bath, N.Y., in 1918.
