Indian War Pensions

Indian War Pensions

Our index has been extracted from Virgil D. White’s book, Index to Pension Applications for Indian Wars Service between 1817–1898, (National Historical Publishing Company, 1997), which is a compilation of pension applications for various Indian Wars during the above-mentioned period. The pension applications are located at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. The criteria used for this index is as follows: either the soldier served in an Oregon military unit; or the soldier, or his widow, applied for a pension in Oregon. White’s book gives additional information, often other services, aliases, and, sometimes, date and place of death. If there is an alias, be sure to check both names for the information.

Order one or more names by completing this order form. You can copy and paste the line information from the index into the order form Notes field, or type the information in from the index.

You may also order by sending the index information (Surname, Given Name, Unit, State, Comment, and Widow), and $7 with your email address (for digital) or $15 with your return address (for hard copy) per name to:
