Port Hudson parole list

[bayouace]

If not too much trouble, I would be very grateful for a copy of the parole list.

Sorry, its in the mail to Stryker65. If you call Port Hudson State Historical Area, and ask for Dane, he can make and send you a pdf copy, or maybe a paper copy. Not cheap to mail. Lol. Its back and front 42 names on each side for almost 6,000 names. Maybe Stryker65 can help you some way.

As I would please. Is it a digital or paper copy?

 

[bayouace]

The paper copy is on its way to Stryker65. I do not have a digital, or any other copy. Please read Post #21 for a suggestion to get a copy.

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.

I'm going to head out to Ft. Delaware this summer. I'll get some photos while I'm there.

@bayouace did the rangers give any restrictions on sharing the records with others? I have received numerous requests for the records in my PMs.

No, no restrictions given at all.

@Stryker65
List is in your USPS office today. Should deliver Wednesday.

 

[Stryker65]

Received it yesterday. Thanks @bayouace for all your help, and @bdtex as well!

There's a whopping 5,975 names in the pages; I'm trying to digitize it, to everybody interested.

Maybe you'll get to visit Port Hudson some day. Very well preserved earthworks.

All the officers captured were sent to the Customs House in New Orleans. and spent some time there before being sent north to prison. A lot of the enlisted men were sent to Enterprise Miss in a parole camp setup there.

Oh wow! That would explain why there aren't any officers listed in the parole rolls.

 

[bayouace]

Yes, as UCVRelics said, officers remained prisoners, only enlisted were paroled. Some officers, like Gardner, were later exchanged.

You can look through this list of CSA officer prisoners at Johnsons Island to find some from Port Hudson, none above the rank of Captain, so obviously incomplete.

I have a whole research file on the camps in Enterprise as we located them about 12 years ago and found quite a few Louisiana buttons. I had some of them as well as some Louisiana buttons and CS relics I dug in Port Hudson at the Vicksburg show last week as I'm parting with some stuff.

 

[bayouace]

The Port Hudson items sound interesting.
