|
|
Forty-fourth Legislature. Senate. No. 27. The Joint Special Committee to Investigate the Sale of Military Credits reported that the sale of
credits from unincorporated areas to populated areas certainly took place, but the Committee had little to suggest to stop it. It did offer a bill that
hired recruiting agents to look in other states and on sailing vessels for recruits who would be credited to Maine. An Act to provide for the
appointment and defining the duties of state recruitment officers, 1865. The Governor would find up to ten people to be recruiting agents. The act listed
the requirements and duties of the agents. Recruits found would redound to the credit of the entire state and no bounty would be paid until the soldier
was safely enrolled in a unit. The Resolve creating the Joint Special Committee was at the end. Digitized from a microfilm copy of title
originally held by the Maine Historical Society Library, the Maine State Library, and the Library of Congress).
