(Note: Most all of the rosters will be "pictures". I have books of all of the Massachusetts rosters and they are digitized. That is where the pictures that you will see come from.)

You will see a lot of the rosters have a dollar amount alongside the soldiers name, that would be their bounty.

Bounty jumpers were men who enlisted in the Union or Confederate army during the American Civil War only to collect a bounty and then leave. The draft of 1863 allowed individuals to pay a bounty to someone else to fight in their place rather than be drafted.

Bounty System. Bounty System, in U.S. history, program of cash bonuses paid to entice enlistees into the army; the system was much abused, particularly during the Civil War, and was outlawed in the Selective Service Act of 1917. ... The states and localities offered higher bonuses.

Reference for all rosters: Massachusetts Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines in the Civil War. Compiled and Published by The Adjutant General in accordance with Chapter 475, Acts of 1899 and Chapter 64, Resolves of 1930. WRIGHT & POTTER PRINTING CO. BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS 1937.
