REGIMENTAL MUSTER ROLL
Today's 67th New York
One of the main duties of a re-enactor in the New 67th NY is to adopt the name and persona of a soldier in the Original 67th NY. Every Civil War regiment had an attendance sheet called a ‘muster roll’ recording the status of a soldier, whether present, missing, on sick leave, or killed in action. These muster rolls were taken at periodic intervals through the War’s duration, chronicling the toll of battle, displaying graphically how the ranks were depleted through sickness, death, or desertion. Thankfully, the original muster rolls for our regiment survived the passage of time and have fallen into our hands (or at least the copies) so that we might know the original men on a first name basis. Together with paperwork provided by the National Archives in Washington, such as pension records, we’re able to build a profile of the soldier we strive to emulate.

During the Civil War new recruits entering the ranks were often called 'Fresh Fish' and had to earn the respect of their comrades by 'Seeing the Elephant' meaning honorably fighting in battle. Once a new member passes one year on probation the fishy reference cease and with a favorable vote into our Company they can be called an 'Old Salt', 'Veteran', or at least some upright walking land animal (two or four footed)
