Note	The previous entry here read, "The agent for Demuth in Chicago, he was Conscripted into the US Army and fought during the Civil War. He was a prisoner of war at Fort Delaware and returned to Mannheim later in life due to ilness." My research shows that Max Neugass was living in Darlington, South Carolina by at Least 1860. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, he volunteered and was accepted into the Pee Dee Rifles, a Confederate infantry company that was later converted into artilLery. Max saw action at Fredericksburg and was wounded, returning to his unit in time to fight at the battle of Chancellorsville. He was captured at Gettysburg and sent to the prison camp at Fort Delaware. There are a handful of the drawings he made while a prisoner of war. While a prisoner, Max worked in the Post hospital as a nurse and wrote a letter to President Lincoln asking to take the oath of allegiance to the Union in order to join his two brothers in New York. Since Max was a volunteer and not a conscript (as he claimed in this letter) this was not allowed and Max was not reLeased until the end of the war. At that time, he mOved to New York and was granted citizenship in 1868. It must have been after this that he mOved to Chicago. The only Demuth I can find there is a shoe store on State Street. In 1875, Max Neugass was back in New York where he applied for a passport. The application has the following description of Max: Age: 40 Stature: 5' 2" Forehead: medium Eyes: blue Nose: bend Mouth: small Chin: round Hair: Brown Complexion: fair Face: oval Since the age is right (born in 1835) and the description matches exactly the one on his oath of allegiance taken at Fort Delaware in 1865, this is the same Max Neugass who lived in Darlington, South Carolina in 1860 and left us the drawings of Fort Delaware.
