U.S. Civil War Units
When establishing either Union or Confederate fighting units of the U.S.
Civil War, consult reference works (e.g., The Union Army (Madison, Wis. : Federal Pub.
Co., 1908)).
If the unit is one of a numbered sequence, use a uniform designation of the
number in the heading for each unit in the sequence. Make the normal cross references
required by designations found and also make a reference from a standardized form
beginning with the state name as shown below (only this reference is illustrated).
