Lot comprised of 6 muster roll documents, approx. 10 1/2 x 4 in. folded, 30 1/2 x 21 in. unfolded (all items numbered at a later date over the Company marking, staining and toning at the edges, some flaking, splits along folds.) Muster rolls providing some insights into the readiness and organization of a Cavalry Regiment that would later distinguish itself at the Battle of Brandy Station and Gettysburg.

All six muster rolls list the personnel of their respective companies during the first two months of 1862 with each listing servants employed and attesting that no soldiers are being used as servants. All six list the "Complexions" of company servants and indicate a substantial African American presence among them.
