Try the library for any good history book on the Civil War or even this particular battle. Also, try http://www.cyndislist.com for references to the battle and histories of the Civil War. You might look for diaries too. Try any of the on line book stores and look at their list of out of print and second hand books as well as their regular list for Civil War books. ----- Original Message ----- From: <VinKnapp@aol.com> To: <NY-Military-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2000 3:05 PM Subject: [NY-Mil] Re: NY-Military-D Digest V00 #81 > I am researching my gg-grandfather Thomas H.
