This book is a guide to Part 2 of 5 parts to a very large microfiche collection of Civil War unit histories. Each unit history is listed individually in the Guide and cataloged separately in the Family History Library Catalog under author/title, military unit, and locality. The Guide may need to be consulted first to get the exact author or title before looking it up in the Family History Library Catalog.

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.

Part 2 consists of unit histories and personal narratives from the majority of units raised in the New England states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Official state histories, state and U.S. adjutant general's offices reports, select reunion and monument dedication publications, and honor rolls and military records of several universities and cities have been included. The histories and narratives highlight the state military departments, local contributions of men and material to the war effort, and the trials and tribulations of the various units and their personnel"--Scope and content note, p. xiii.
