For background information on Confederate units, you might try the following sources:
1. The Virginia Regimental History Series, published by H. E. Howard, Lynchburg, Virginia. Most libraries have the series. Each book in the series gives the history of an infantry, cavalry, or artillery regiment, including personnel rosters.
2. COMPENDIUM OF THE CONFEDERATE ARMIES: Virginia - Stewart Sifakis (1992) 2003, 5½x8½, paper, index, xii+288 pp., ISBN: 1-58549-701-0. This has just been reprinted. It gives a summary for each Confederate unit, including a list of battles participated in.
