The bulk of this series consists of amnesty oaths, applications for appointments, and correspondence. The series also includes materials concerning cotton, indigent families, oaths and bonds, pardons, the Salt Commission, the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, the Alabama Insane Hospital and the establishment and closure of the Provisional Government of the State of Alabama in 1865. Only one document, addressed to Gov. Thomas Watts, is dated from 1864. The rest of the series documents the activities of the governor's office in 1865, just following the Civil War but prior to Reconstruction. There are letters documenting pro union Alabamians as well as the actions of the United States military within the state. Records in this series help to shed light on this volatile period in Alabama and southern history.
