Index to naval bounty payments, 1864.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82394805

The adjutant general of the Commonwealth, as executive administrator of the state's Military Establishment, has been responsible for maintaining and reporting data concerning militia strength. During the Civil War these activities were intensified, particularly as they related to fulfillment of municipal recruitment quotas and determinations of entitlement to state aid and bounties. This index records Massachusetts servicemen enlisting in the U.S. Navy. It was created to index payrolls that detail bounty payments made to naval personnel (St 1864, c 143, s 3; c 211, s 2).
