On April 29, 1864, General Walker was ordered to Kinston, N.

General Walker reached the army concentrated by Beauregard in time to share in the attack upon Butler. During a fight on May 20th he accidentally rode into the enemy's lines, and when called upon to surrender refused and was fired upon. His horse was killed and he was himself so severely wounded in the foot that amputation became necessary.

General Walker removed to Georgia after the war, and in 1898 was a citizen of Atlanta.
