I have a book.

Manual of the Militia Laws of the United States and the State of Michigan

by William Shakespeare (not that Wm. Shakespeare!)

by the direction of the state Military Board
1883

The first 13 pgs or so cover UNITED STATES MILITIA LAW , title XVI, Secs. 1625-1667

It describes the makeup of the militia. The armaments various divisions are supposed to have. The skills of various militia members, like cannoneers, doctors, horsemen, etc.

It’s a very interesting book and maybe someday when I ain’t so busy, I’ll try to OCR it in.

I love those old books like that...the kind whose content you can’t find on the internet anywhere.
