From July 13, 1874 and thereafter he signed as "Beckman." The Battle of Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, on April 9, 1864 was the regiment's first "great battle." Frank was wounded with the musket ball entering the left side of his abdomen, tracking eight or nine inches through the abdomen, and exiting on the right side. He was left on the field and then taken by his Confederate captors to the Camp Ford prison near Tyler, Texas, where he remained for his entire imprisonment. Upon his release, he was taken down the Red River and paroled for exchange on October 22, 1864, at the Red River landing. A more complete bio appears on the GenWeb site for Clayton County, Iowa.
