The left-hand side of this broadsheet prints a December 1, 1775 resolution by the Massachusetts Provincial Congress mustering the militia “without Delay…to serve in the American Army.” Five columns of enlistment quotas, broken down by county and town, follow. The right-hand side prints an enlistment agreement, followed by the signatures of the eight enlistees.
