Oath of Loyalty

C.W. Baker

This is C.W. Baker's Oath of Loyalty to the United States. Baker describes himself as a 65-year-old resident of Liberty, Missouri. In response to the question, "Have you during the late rebellion been truly and loyally on the side of the Government of the United States and against all its enemies?" Baker replies, "I think so." The oath, labeled No. 35 in a bound volume, was signed by Baker in 1866.
