This microfiche collection "includes basic reference works on the war history of each state and features hundreds of personal histories and other narratives, most written by Union and Confederate citizen soldiers in the home-state units that did the bulk of the fighting. The collectipon covers unit histories and narratives published from 1861 to 1920"--Publisher's brochure.
