Oath of Loyalty

William Bryant

This is William Bryant's Oath of Loyalty to the United States. Bryant, a 46-year-old resident of Liberty, Missouri, states that he was born in Kentucky and demonstrated his loyalty to the United States Government during the Civil War by "staying at home and attending to my own business and treating soldiers as they ought to be." The oath, labeled No. 83 in a bound volume, was signed by Bryant in 1866.
