content: A volume of descriptions of abandoned property and its former owners, 1865–66, divided into four sections. The first three sections are arranged according to the name of the agent who seized the property and thereunder by name of property owner. One of these three sections contains information about land in Alabama. The information in the three sections is similar to that in the registers of abandoned property described above but includes more details. The fourth section contains a listing of leases made by Special Treasury Agent E. Hotchkiss from February through June 1865.
