AF-1133: Pension Paper Trails: Post-War Struggles and Paperwork


Listen Later

When the gunpowder settled and the flags were folded, Revolutionary War soldiers had to return to lives that often looked nothing like the ones they’d left behind. For many veterans, survival during the war had been only half the battle. The other half was trying to get what was promised to them once peace had been declared.

That’s where the pension system came in — slowly, imperfectly, and full of red tape. But for family historians like us, those old paper trails can be a gift.
