Civil War Pensions
Abstract
It is not the purpose of this thesis to assume a conclusion of fraud in the Civil War Pensions System, but merely to find out what the conditions were and bring them out. This study is divided into four parts: 1. A survey of pensions up to Harrison's administration; 2. The Pension Bureau under Tanner and Raum; 3. Individual typical cases of fraud; 4. Conclusion. These materials were gathered from the library at the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, and the library at Oklahoma University. It has been a pleasure to write this thesis--thanks to Dr. T. H. Reynolds, Miss Grace Campbell, and Miss Margaret Walters. Special thanks are extended to Miss Odessa Sharp for her suggestions as to the clarity of the English in this study.
