Product Details:

"First Muster" by Don Troiani is a historically rich painting that depicts the first organized militia muster in the American colonies, which took place in Salem, Massachusetts, on April 13, 1637. This event is recognized as the origin of the National Guard. Troiani, renowned for his meticulous attention to historical accuracy, shows militiamen of the 17th century assembling in traditional attire of the period, complete with muskets and pikes. The background likely includes elements of early colonial architecture, and the overall atmosphere conveys the disciplined yet nascent military organization that would become a hallmark of American defense.
