This collection houses two items documenting George W. Dyer's activities during the close of the Civil War and the beginning of Reconstruction. The first is a pass issued under the authority of Brigadier General Samuel P. Carter (then serving as the Provost Marshal General of East Tennessee) indicating that the guards should allow Dyer to pass through to Kentucky. The second is a certificate showing that Dyer is a registered voter, has produced the required two competent witnesses who are known "to have been at all times unconditional Union men to swear that he has never been guilty of any of the disqualifications specified in the Act of May 3d, 1866, and so may be allowed to vote."
