Jedediah Huntington Orderly Book
Book of orders (1776 Jan. 1-Apr. 2) from George Washington written by Jedediah Huntington. The orders vary throughout the book. In the beginning the orders appear more concerned with organization. There are entries detailing the make-up of regiments and companies; details of punishments; troops being court martialed; and orders for troop movements.

At the beginning of the book, there is a letter from the donors describing how the book was received as well as biographical information on Huntington, especially dealing with his life after the war and including a picture of his house in New London.
