Description
Union Soldier's Parole, Signed by the Soldier at Brashear City, Louisiana. This Union soldier's parole titled "Head Quarters, C. S. Forces, South of Red River," paroles Private Samuel Williams of the 4th Massachusetts Volunteers. Dated June 25, 1863, after given this "Parole of Honor" Williams agrees that he will not take up arms against the "Confederate States or their allies."Organized at Lakeville, Massachusetts on September 23, 1862, this regiment moved to New Orleans, Louisiana in December of that year. On April 8, 1863 the regiment made their way to Brashear City where regimental records indicate it stayed until May 30. They took part in the siege of Port Hudson with a detachment from the regiment being sent back to Brashear City two days before this parole. This soldier was obviously part of the detail.
In good condition and nicely framed, this 7.5" x 4.5" certificate of parole is crudely signed by the soldier.
