7 ¾” x 3 ½” imprinted form filled out in ink; dated Lynchburg, Virginia, April 13, 1865.  The bearer, John Hare of Carter’s Artillery Battery, “a Paroled prisoner of the Army of the Confederate States, has permission to go to his home, and there remain undisturbed.”  “PAROLED PRISONER’S PASS” is printed vertically along the left margin. Signed by the Provost Marshal. Blue circular rubber stamp at the bottom from Office of Provost Marshal, dated Apr. 17, 1865. Docket on the reverse, “Office Prov. Mar., 8 A.C. [Army Corps], Balt., Md., April 18/65. Reported at this office, Edwin Vaughan, Capt. And Asst. Pro. Mar.”

John Hare enlisted in Maryland on 9/12/62 as a private and was mustered into Ashby’s Horse Artillery. This unit was organized at Jefferson County, VA in November 1861. It fought in Stonewall Jackson’s celebrated Shenandoah Valley Campaign, then served in John Pelham’s, Robert F. Beckham’s and James Breathed’s Battalion, Army of Northern Virginia. The battery participated in the campaigns of the army from the Seven Days battles to Cold Harbor, then was involved in Early’s operations in the Shenandoah Valley and the Appomattox Campaign and was included in the surrender of April 9, 1865. Its commanders were John W. Carter, Roger Preston Chew and James W. Thomson.

This is a very rare pass, carried by a paroled Confederate Prisoner of War, and member of a famous horse artillery.  [ld] [ph:L]
