    2. List members, I would like to make two corrections to the wonderful guide to CSRs by Geoff Walden recently printed on this list. One, There is now a book set called Roster of Union Soldiers which does for the Union Army what the Roster of Confederate Soldiers book set does for rebels. The Union book set divides by state, however, so you either need to know the state or need to check state by state until you find your guy. Both these book sets are published by Broadfoot Books of Wilmington, N.C., which also has a very good CSR and pension search service for CW soldiers North and South. Broadfoot is also the publisher of the Supplement to the Official Records, which has company by company chronologies for CW regiments North and South. Two, James Neagles has a book called U.S. Military Records: a Guide to Federal and State Sources, Colonial America to the Present, which does for northern state archives what Neagles' book Confederate Research Sources does for southern state archives. Both Neagles' books are in print and still available from Amazon.com, etc. Tom Pearson
