The “minutemen” of the American Revolution were supposed to be ready to march where needed at a moment’s notice. Serving for periods as short as two weeks or as long as several months, these citizen soldiers, or militiamen, were not part of the Continental Army. This “Alarm List” for Deerfield, Massachusetts, recorded which men responded to various calls by the government. It also recorded how long they served and how much they were paid.
