Detailed hand-written military ledger documenting the activity of the 37th Regiment, Sixth Brigade of the New Hampshire Militia. Covering a 27-year span, this manuscript serves as an exhaustive census of the fighting-age men and military readiness of central New Hampshire in the early 19th century.

The volume includes hundreds of pages of:

• Muster Rolls: List of names, ranks, and dates of service for local companies.

• Equipment Inventories: Detailed records of "arms and accoutrements," including muskets, bayonets, flints, and iron rods, providing insight into the transition from flintlock to percussion systems.

• General & Special Orders: Handwritten directives from the Governor and Adjutant General regarding training exercises and the appointment of officers such as Col. Otis Barney and Adjutant Abraham Pushee.

• Financial Accounts: Records of fines levied for "non-appearance" at musters, a vital look into the civic life and discipline of the era.

Historical Significance: This ledger captures the final decades of the traditional "citizen-soldier" militia system. It covers the logistical preparations for the Aroostook War and the early stages of the Mexican-American War period. For historians of New Hampshire or genealogy researchers, this may be an un-mined resource of local names and military lineage.
