|   | ****Bonus March**** 
232 pages

In June, 1932, the Bonus Expeditionary Force, also known as the "Bonus Army" marched on Washington, D.C., to advocate the passage of the "soldier's bonus" for service during the Great War (later known as World War I). After Congress adjourned, bonus marchers remained in the city but shortly became unruly. On July 28, 1932, two bonus marchers were shot by police and the entire mob became hostile and riotous. The FBI, then known as the United States Bureau of Investigation checked its fingerprint records files to ascertain the police records of persons who had been arrested during the riots or who had participated in the bonus march.
