Summary:
This series consists of proclamations issued by governors of northern states and territories, with the exception of one received
from Arkansas. The proclamations were compiled by the Bureau of Military Statistics and its successor, the Bureau of Military
Record, between 1863 and 1866. Essentially, the proclamations are messages from the governor to the people prescribing a specific
day (usually in November) on which prayers and thanksgiving should be offered and the reasons why.
