Description:
This is an original document printed by the U.S. Congress for the Congress, constituents, state governments, and other interested parties in 1862. Memorial (meaning petition) by the Military Board of Kentucky to the 37th Congress in 1862 on behalf of its soldiers fighting for the Union to receive the same compensation as they would have had while in actual duty before being mustered in. The document is 5 pages long. It is a short but fascinating account of what these soldiers endured and sacrificed to remain loyal and fight for the Union. It is forwarded from the State Capitol of Frankfort.
