Rare, partially printed Alabama parole of a Confederate soldier.
The document numbered 631 reads in part, "I, the undersigned, Prisoner of War, belonging to the Army of the Department of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisiana, having been surrendered by Lieut. Gen. R. Taylor, C. L. A., Commanding said Department . . . do hereby give my solemn parole of honor, that I will not hereafter serve in the Armies of the Confederate States or in any military capacity whatever, against the United States of America . . ." Signed by "L.N. Cole" of the 8th Alabama Cavalry. Heavily restored but still very presentable and legible.
