Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

The single-volume register of contracts for Bradley County, January–March 1866 (168), consists of two registers, both of which seem to have the same title. One register is arranged chronologically by date the contract was filed. The second register is arranged numerically by the number of the contract. This volume also contains a list of indigent families, most of who seem to be soldiers' families.
