In Missouri, Thompson (1826-1876) organized the "Swamp Rats" to raid Union military posts and towns, which earned him the nickname of "Swamp Fox" of the Confederacy. He was captured in August of 1862 and was one of seven Confederate generals confined at Johnson's Island. Apparently a well-liked inmate, Thompson commanded a brigade in the great prison snowball fight of 1864.PCGS certified, with mounting damage at left and rightCondition
