Scalp Act of 1756

[edit]

Something is making it's way around the internet (maybe for some time) about a Scalp Act decreed by Morris: "On April 8, 1756, Governor Robert Morris enacted the Scalp Act. Anyone who brought in a male scalp above age of 12 would be given 150 pieces of eight, ($150), for females above age of 12 or males under the age of 12, they would be paid $130."
