send me a private message with his name, unit, hometown, etc. & i'll look him up the next time that i'm at the center.

i think the center has every PUBLISHED unit history, plus all the service records of the south's military forces.

also, if you'll give me a snail-mail address, i'll copy what they have &mail it to you.

Hi, stand, that's a generous offer of help, and I'm afraid you're a lot more help than I've been.

The other thing I was going to suggest.....if you can find the title of his regimental history, there are some bookstores that can try to get him a copy. Brown Bookstore has a good service, I've gotten obscure reprints from them before (a Ares Press reprint of an etymological dictionary of ancient Greek, for instance -- one originally put out in 1910 or something). I'm sure there are others.
