Died At 21

Unfortunately, Shepherd could no escape the misfortunes that war unleashed. He found himself in Salisbury prison in October of 1864 as a prisoner, that was overcrowded with people. There is no detail about his family ever learned that their son had gotten captured by the rivals. As for Shepherd, the man was cramped inside a jail that was supposed to hold 2,500 people was keeping 10,000 instead. Due to overpopulation and lack of sanitation Shepherd died of starvation and disease at the age of 21 just like many other prisoners. However, his story is still alive.
