William Walter
Description
William Walter is the factual story of a young man who entered the Confederate States of America military at age sixteen to defend against the encroaching Union Military and destruction of the Southern way of life. He had a lot to learn in the military! Even his ancestral heritage in North Carolina before his father migrated to Mississippi provides an interesting story to go along with his capture by Union forces in the Siege of Vicksburg. His work as a Bloodhound manager for law enforcement in the local Jackson, Mississippi, area brought him fame. His marriage after Confederate service brought some good times and some that weren't so good. Of course, his sad demise with mental illness, time in an insane asylum, and a sudden ending to his life cap off William Walter Hendrick's life story.

Person
Jasper S. Lee grew up on a Mississippi cotton plantation in a genuine southern community that was continuing to heal from the American Civil War. He has college degrees from Mississippi State University and the University of Illinois. He has served as a university professor and department head as well as an editorial consultant with an agricultural textbook publisher, where he was known as a "word-smith." This is Lee's fifth family history book, with two of the previous books being "Tinnin" and "Cousin." As always, much genealogy study went into the preparation of this book as it did in previous books.
