Civil War Units and Commands Nice colorful piece on Civil War Regiments and good basic information to start researching specific units. link "When Stephen Crane (1871–1900) chose the title The Little Regiment for his 1896 collection of short stories set during the Civil War, he knew what he was about…
Crane knew what many in later years forgot: that for the Civil War generation, a regimental designation was not merely a military convenience. In truth, the regiment was the primary object of identification for the men who fought the war…. To speak the name of a unit was often to summon up a host of associations within a particular state and community." |

that for the Civil War generation, a regimental designation was not merely a military convenience. In truth, the regiment was the primary object of identification for the men who fought the war…. That is why ACW gaming is best done at the regimental level. |
