Joy, have you looked at the Marshall University Special Collections? There is an amazing small library there called the Roseanna Blake Room. It is mostly Confederate. I am not clear if the below is one side or the other. But the man who is in there is absolutely knowledgeable. You might want to call or e-mail ahead as I don't think that he is always there.

Thanks, Marsha. I"ll let you know. I did talk to the folks at WVU. They don't have it but plan to order it after July 1, when the new budget year starts. I'm also going to check West Virginia Wesleyan tomorrow. They have a great Civil War Collection too. Among other things, they have all of the Virginia regimental histories published by Howard. I was surprised to find them there. Thanks.
