The regimental returns of the personnel of the 8th Massachusetts regiment kept by Francis Tufts, the adjutant to Colonel Michael Jackson (1734-1801), for the period from 1778 September 3- December 18, when the men were stationed in the Hudson Valley. After the war, Gardner Tufts and possibly other family members (it is written in a variety of hands) filled the added leaves with different material including: a brief narrative of Francis Tufts' military service; copies of orders taken from other regimental order books (including some by George Washington); moral, patriotic and religious essays, reflections, poetry, diagrams, and speeches; and sketches of family homes. Also includes tipped in lithographic portraits of Christopher Columbus, Charles Carroll (last living signer of the Declaration of Independence), George Washington, John Warren (physician and brother of Joseph Warren, hero of Bunker Hill), Marquis de Lafayette, John Adams, Edward Augustus Holyoke (Massachusetts physician and educator), and President William Henry Harrison. Volume also contains several, smaller manuscript items laid in. Front cover is detached; some signs of foxing and water damage.
