=== Unit Histories and Narratives  ===
State volunteer regiments many have a published history written or compiled by a veteran, a descendent or interested individual. The histories many have biographical data on officers and unit rosters of members, and they often provide clues to the town or county where the soldiers were living when they enlisted. Published county histories may also have information on military units raised in their locality.
