In Senate of the United States. July 28, 1848…The Committee on Revolutionary Claims, to Whom was Referred the Memorial of H.M. Salomon, for Indemnification for Advances of Money Made by his Father During the Revolutionary War.
pp. 4. Unbound. 8vo. Singerman 1057.
(Washington DC): 1848.
During the American Revolutionary War, the Polish-born patriot Haym Salomon was the prime financier of the American army in its struggle for independence from England. Shortly after the conclusion of peace between the two sides Salomon suddenly died leaving his wife and children with debts. Over many years Haym M. Salomon (1785-1858) attempted to receive from the U.S government the payment due him as the rightful heir. Despite considerable agitation on his part, the proposed bill was never passed. See JE, Vol. X, pp. 653-655; EJ, Vol. XIV, cols. 695-6.
