Military Dept. Adjutant General (RG 33).

Military Department general orders, special orders, circulars, bulletins, memoranda and a bound order book. The two general orders from 1820 and 1821 detail uniform information for the Mississippi militia. The material from 1909-1920 concern the day to day functioning of the Mississippi National Guard. Of particular interest are the orders from 1919 and 1920 which involve the reconstitution of the National Guard after World War One. The general order from 1924 publishes Mrs. Dunbar Rowland's history of the 1st Mississippi Volunteer Infantry Regiment (later 155th Infantry Regiment). The 1925 general order was issued to describe the U.S. flag and to detail instructions for its proper handling by military forces. The bound order book contains handwritten, typed, and printed orders issued to Mississippi National Guard units at Camp Pat Henry, Jackson, from May 8 through June 8, 1898, during the Spanish-American War mobilization.
