THE BLOG page provides a short history of how the U.S. Federal Government went
from initially denying any financial aid to destitute and disabled veterans of the American Revolutionary War to eventually
turning on generous pension spigots for the surviving veterans but how the actual cost of the veterans' pensions
were so suspicioulsy high that on May 29, 1834, William C. Preston of South Carolina, rose from his chair in the U.S. Senate
and stated "In my judgement, there was some radical mistake, mismanagement, or fraud in the pension system,
which called upon Congress to look into it for the veterans of the American Revolutionary War.
The good Senator suspected vast frauds and how right he was.
The most famous of these American Revolutionary war pension embezzlements
is covered in the chapter entitled " The Known and Honored" in my new book:
