War of 1812 Geneaolgy Now Available Online-- Part 2

I went to the Fold3.com site to take a quick look at what they had.

There are approximately 180,000 pension and bounty land warrant applications that will be available once all 7.2 million pages are digitalized.  I'll have to find out what the bounty land warrants are, but would guess it would be western land in return for military service.

Other items:

**First War of 1812 applications based on disability or death of a soldier, beginning in 1871 and based on service.  (Does this mean that pensions to these veterans were not available until 1871?)

**  Prize cases, Southern District Court, New York: documents relating to captured ships, their owners and cargoes.  (Lots of privateers operating out there.)

**  Letters received by the Adjutant General from officers and enlisted men of the Army, Secretary of War, President, government officials, Members of Congress, civilians and business firms.

**  Service Records.
