Oregon seeks 1.3 million in Civil War claims from Congress

Salem reports Oregon Senate backed a measure urging Congress to reimburse 1.3 million dollars for Civil War era expenses. State historian Cecil Edwards says Oregon mustered 1,800 troops to replace withdrawn federal forces, including infantry and cavalry, after federal troops left to fight the Confederacy. Congress never funded the claim, court in 1908 partly backed reimbursement but not for bounties and extra wages.
