Organization of Confederate Infantry Companies

Please provide me a reference that describes/discusses how Confederate infantry companies were organized.

I know they had one Captain, 3 lieutenants, 4 or 5 sergeants, 4 corporals, and between 64 and 100 privates.

Did each company have two or three platoons? How many squads were in a platoon? How many sergeants and corporals were in each platoon?

I would appreciate having a reference I can review.

Thanks in advance.
