W. E. Woodruff (see
Bibliography) wrote, "...it is a great pleasure, and there is a certain
pride, in mentioning the names of Captain Wm. P. Parks, who, after the death
of Captain Hoadley of the famous heavy battery at Vicksburg, succeeded the
latter in command. He was a volunteer in the successful run of the Confederate
ram, Arkansas, from Yazoo river to Vicksburg, past the Federal fleet and
batteries, in 186[2]."
