Biography
Charles H. Drummond, of Norfolk, Virginia, was brought from Fort Norfolk after 'a sort of trial' and confined among the political prisoners. He was held as a civilian political prisoner at Fort Delaware during the U.S. Civil War, detained without trial under the wartime suspension of habeas corpus, and is named among the fellow prisoners in the Rev. Isaac W. K. Handy's 1863–1864 prison diary, 'United States Bonds; or, Duress by Federal Authority.'
