Scope and content
A membership volume associated with the League of Young Irish Crusaders. Lists of promoters of the League are given on the opening pages of the volume. The promoters are mainly drawn from Counties Dublin, Tyrone, Longford, Fermanagh, Roscommon and Wicklow. The membership entries are listed alphabetically under surname, address and age. The membership of the Crusaders was confined to children and young adults who promised to abstain from taking an intoxicating drink. Members were expected to join the Father Mathew Total Association and to become members of a local Sacred Thirst Sodality. A good number of pages in the volume remain blank.
