Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Finance of the House of Representatives, on Bounty Frauds, &C: Made at the January Session, 1865
That they have endeavored to ascertain the extent of the authority conferred upon the Executive to have men enlisted into the service of the United States, with the mode of executing that authority, and the degree of success which has attended its execution.
To these ends they have examined the statutes of the State; such of the military orders of the commander-in-chief as were accessible to them, and have procured copies to be made from the military records of the State, as they are to be found in the offices of the Quartermaster General, Paymaster General and Adjutant General. They have also examined a large number of witnesses, from whom they have elicited a variety of important facts.
