In my ggg grandfather's widow's pension record (10th Arkansas Infantry) it is stated he was shot while being about 150 feet from General Johnston.
Are there any good books or references that I can track regimental movement to tie this to a locaton?

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.

You might try the pamphlet collection of the National Park Service. They had some battlefield maps. Of course, I'm trying to remember stuff from the '80's.....
I'd start with an online search, and then get with a research librarian at any good-sized library (county, big-city, any college campus that will let you use their services).
