Dear Hayes,

I agree, Dr. Bergeron's book, is THE primary resource for Louisiana units in the Civil War and accomplishes many of the same goals as the "Virginia Regimental Histories Series". I also agree with Art's comment that the Virginia Regimental Histories Series, though a huge undertaking worthy of praise, has some major drawbacks as an easy to use resource.

Here is some info on the "Virginia Regimental Histories Series" for your information:

The Virginia Regimental Histories Series deals with each Virginia unit and Virginia soldier of the American Civil War. Individual volumes contain a unit history, an annotated muster roll of every man who served in that unit and revellent photographs and maps. The first edition of each volume is limited to one thousand hardback copies which are numbered and autographed by the author.

The Virginia Regimental Histories Series has as its goal the preservation of all material related to Virginia units and Virginia soldiers of the American Civil War.

A listing of the individual histories available can be found at:
