pth.thehardyparty.com has a Search for Soldiers-esque resource for locating Port Hudson soldiers' paroles, but no complete parole list. But at the bottom of the site, the following is listed:

"Thanks to Michael Fraering, Curator of the Port Hudson State Historic Site, for providing copies of the transcribed Federal lists of Confederate parolees, and officers who surrendered at Port Hudson."

Does anybody know if this list could be found? Or if pth.thehardyparty.com has the rolls digitized and/or on file?

@Biscoitos for alerting me to this resource.
 
This man was surrendered at Port Hudson and spent the duration at Johnson's Island.

My ancestor was a 1st Lt D. J. Warren, who was an assistant surgeon in 10th Arkansas Volunteer Infantry (Co. C, 'Choctaw Rifles') and was captured at Port Hudson.

He was taken to Johnson's Island, on the Maple Leaf. When the plan to liberate officers from there, he was sent to Point Lookout. He had the 'quick step' already and was sent to Ft. Delaware for the duration. He survived small pox there and I'm not sure about medical care for prisoners so I don't know if they looked after their own.

He survived it all, and ended up being paroled in June of 1865 and went back to Gally Rock in Pope Co., Arkansas. To spite the hardships on and off the field lived to be 89.

He'd been a circuit doctor before the war and enlisted as a private. After Shilo and the near mutiny of the 10th and stepping down of officers he was 'elected' luetenant and made assistant surgeon.

He and my two other ancestors were at Shilo on different parts of the field. So was Henry Morton Stanley.

"Dr. Warren, I presume?:

In addition to Captain Isbell, a distant cousin, I had a twice-removed great-granduncle, Richard David Copass who died at Johnson's Island. Richard and his brothers, Montgomery, John, and Thomas were in the 60th Tennessee. Richard and John were captured at Big Black, on May 17, 1863. John died at Fort Deleware.
 
OK, I talked with a person at Port Hudson, and he will get back to me Wednesday after he talks with Ranger Fraering to see if I can obtain a copy of the parolee list. If there is a charge for the copies , I will pm that to @Stryker65 to say he will or will not pay that. If he then wants the list I would go get it, pay for it, send it, and ask to be reimbursed. How's that?

I will surely pay for it, as long as it's ... affordable, I suppose. Will this be the transcribed list? Thanks!
 
My GG Grandfather should be on the list, would be curious to know if he is, Private Joseph Grant - Company C, 1st Alabama Infantry
Here you go.
