    Sources for Regimental History

    I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of websites and sources people could use when trying to create a company and learning about its history so if anyone has any good sites or references post them here. I'll start,
    If anyone is interested in the history of Louisiana units during the civil war or want a good source to form a company I recommend the following,

    http://www.acadiansingray.com/ List multiple regiments and there history and list the companies in each regiment but doesn't go into to much detail about the companies.
    I also highly recommend the book Lee's Tigers by Terry L. Jones, it's a great book that goes into detail about the LA regiments in the Army of Northern Virginia, and their accomplishment throughout the war. I'll post more info as I find it.
    Jesse S. Crosby, 20th Georgia Infantry, July 15, 1861 - May 6, 1864

    Samuel T. McKenzie, 20th Georgia Infantry, July 15, 1861 - September 2, 1862

    Joseph C. McKenzie, 20th Georgia Infantry, July 15, 1861 - October 1, 1863

    Henry C. McKenzie, 3rd Georgia Infantry, June 1, 1861 - January 28, 1863

    Charles R. Beddingfield, 38th Alabama Infantry

    Samuel L. Cowart, Cobb's Legion

    Good idea:

    Here is the short official histories of the union regiments: about 747 pages of it

    Here's another website detailing some information on different battle units (from both sides). It also lists all the soldiers that served in them: http://www.nps.gov/civilwar/soldiers...s-database.htm
