Walter Simon Turner - Private

My great-grandfather, Walter S. Turner, served in the 39th Mississippi Infantry Regiment as a young enlisted man during the Civil War. He was 20 years old at the time of the Battle of Port Hudson, LA which he described in detail in his diary covering the period of May 21-July 25, 1863 (a copy of which I hold). After the surrender of the Confederates on July 8 , he was parolled on July 14, 1863. He died at Winona, MS on February 21, 1920 at age 76.
