RARE APPOMATTOX PAROLE.

RARE APPOMATTOX PAROLE. The terms of surrender between the Union and Confederate forces allowed parole passes to be issued by Confederate officers. These passes were printed on various field presses near the Appomattox surrender site. These slips of paper (about 8″ x 3″) allowed a soldier transportation and rations on his way home. This document assured him that he would not be attacked or imprisoned by Union forces. Though many thousands of these paroles were issued, few survive today and many are in terrible condition. This particular pass to a North Carolina soldier presents beautifully, the ink and printing being easily read. Daniel A. Haynes, who this parole belonged, was member of the 11th North Carolina Infantry and fought side by side with his son, Daniel H. Haynes, who was killed by his side July 1, 1863 at the Battle Gettysburg (the 11th North Carolina had over 450 casualties in this battle). This parole is signed by Colonel of the 11th North Carolina, W. J. Martin. The National Park Service at Appomattox has a good data base on these documents for further research. CONDITION: Paper is very good, as restored. Document was cracked at each of three folds and has a 2″ tear at left margin, which have all been stabilized and conserved, being laid on rice paper. 4-49309 JS35 (4,000-6,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2013

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
