Assortment of records relating to city and state efforts to acquire military recruits and provide relief for soldier's families. Enlistment bounty applications and receipts indicate soldier's name, company, and the sum entitled. Relief returns provide information regarding military dependents, primarily cash received. There is no orderly internal arrangement or index for this material. Several undated alphabetical lists of draftees and substitutes along with minutes of the bounty board (August 1864 - January 1865) are also available.
