I got this from the Everton list. Found it interesting. Just another think
that can be filed in the back of your mind for a difficult search in the
Georgia area. Diana in Rush Co.

> Salt was a scarce commodity during Civil War time in Georgia. Civil War
Salt Rolls note special allotments of salt to wives, widows and other
dependents of Confederate servicemen. The Justice of the Peace in each
Georgia militia district kept lists of dependents for whom allotments were
made. Salt was also a currency used to barter for other necessities in an
economy where money was valueless or non-existent.
