Parole Rules and Civilian Parole Quirks in 1863
The article reprints General Orders No. 49 from Washington dated February 26 1863 on parole rules for soldiers.

It also covers POW bindings and government consent limits. The piece includes miscellaneous anecdotes and a note on a new National Banking law in Anderson and a legal view that deserters are felons at common law after capture.
