General Index to Pension Applications

The Family History Library has 544 rolls of microfilm that index all pension files from 1861 to 1934. This includes the Union Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection, and the Boxer Rebellion. It is named "General index to pension files, 1861-1934." The Confederate Civil War microfilm records were purchased from each of the state archives and they are also available in the Family History Library.

Chapter 14 indicated that there were four types of pension records. Can you please name them?
