Basically, the warrant is a piece of paper which states that, based on his service, the veteran is entitled to X number of acres in one of the bounty land districts set up for veterans of the War of 1812.

 GamingWorld X - Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter Review
Unfortunately, despite all of the rather extensive development time brought to Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter, and all the promise that it showed, the game is a merely average addition to the genre that would’ve been better suited as a bargain title from release.
When he gets out, he becomes a bounty hunter in order to track down those responsible for the original piracy that got him landed in jail, from which point the story starts getting needlessly convoluted.
The music is nicely composed, although coupled with a sometimes-shoddy dynamic music system it begins to seem obnoxious at times; when a full choir and orchestral score is blasting while you’re simply walking up a few flights of stairs, it doesn’t feel epic at all, unfortunately.
