Scope and Content: The adjutant general of the Commonwealth, as executive administrator of the state’s Military Establishment, has been responsible for maintaining and reporting data concerning militia strength; these activities were intensified during the Civil War.  Muster rolls demonstrated strength and readiness of militia units for the war, as well as providing information for the payment of the military personnel.  Rolls were filled out in multiples with copies returned to the adjutant general.
Arrangement: Arranged by branch of service, thereunder by military unit, and then chronologically
Notes: Several volumes contain useful explanatory notes by Frederick W. Cross, military archivist, on the front flyleaf.  He apparently reviewed these materials in the period 1919-1921
