Discover how Revolutionary War veterans were rewarded with pensions and land grants—and how these shaped
America’s westward growth. In this engaging
program, you’ll explore the history behind
Congress’s 1776 legislation offering pensions
and land bounties to soldiers and officers—
and how these benefits evolved to support
widows and heirs. Using historical records like
pension applications, you’ll learn about the
criteria veterans had to meet and the impact
these rewards had on poverty and settlement,
especially in Arkansas.
With expert guidance from local historian, Michelle Place, you’ll gain hands-on experience
interpreting primary sources, and uncover real
stories behind the documents—something
you can’t get from reading alone. Dive into the
fascinating intersection of military history, social policy, and westward expansion through
the lives of those who fought for independence.
