UVMuster

UVMuster is a historical military unit that played a significant role during the American Revolutionary War. Formed in 1775, it was part of the New Hampshire militia and was primarily composed of volunteers from the state’s rural areas. The unit was known for its participation in early campaigns, including the Battle of Lexington and Concord, where it contributed to the first armed clashes of the war. UVMuster was named after the Latin phrase "Ubi Vides, Muster," which translates to "Where You See, Mustering," reflecting its role in assembling troops quickly in response to military needs.

During the war, UVMuster saw action in several key engagements, including the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston. The unit’s effectiveness was often tied to its ability to adapt and respond to changing battlefield conditions, earning it a reputation for resilience. After the war, many of its members returned to civilian life, though some continued to serve in various capacities within the new United States military.

The legacy of UVMuster is preserved through historical records, including muster rolls and personal accounts from participants. Today, it serves as a reminder of the state’s contributions to the Revolutionary War effort. While its exact size and composition varied over time, UVMuster remains an important symbol of New Hampshire’s early military heritage.
