Sketch of a men gathered for a militia meeting. General muster of militia at a West Virginia county seat before the Civil War, required to be held at least once each year. No uniforms were provided, and few were owned and worn-officers were distinguished by colored sashes and each man provided his own arms. Because of division in the ranks, these county militia regiments were of little use in the Civil War. See West Virginia Collection Pamphlet 6610 and Boyd Stutler's 'West Virginia in the Civil War.'
