What You Will Learn

Bounty land was offered as compensation for soldiers who fought in the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Mexican-American War, but obtaining their land was not a simple matter. Some veterans settled on their land, but many sold their grants to others. As a result, many people who weren’t veterans ended up with these lands. Learn about the laws that governed bounty land, all the people who got involved, and where to find the records.
