Does anyone know when was the last time the Uninted States issued "Letters
of Marque and Reprisal" (as the Constitution calls them)?
of Marque and Reprisal" (as the Constitution calls them)?
I know the CSA issued them during the Civil war, but were they issued at all
after that war? I believe the Uninted States formally renounced Letters of
Marqu at the Hague Conference in 1907, but I have found no information
regarding their use in the later half of the 19th century.

We have discovered many years' worth of letters from my dad to his
family, to his wife, and others from the mid to late 40s, including some
hand written diagrams, plans, and other documents. He was headquartered
in Austria and came back to the states in about 1947 or 48 or 49. I'm not
sure yet. We're still cataloging.

After scanning these documents, we may be interested in discussing the
historical value of the firsthand accounts. Anyone know where to begin
the search for same? It's amazing reading about him riding on a train
through Paris, setting up here or there, and the language of the day is
fairly wonderful. Ideas anyone?
