I now have a new-found respect for historians... I feel as if I have been searching for a couple of needles in a huge haystack of material, and am coming up with nothing. Hats off to the amazing men and women who do this for a living...I would surely starve if this were my "primary source" of income!
But enough of that. From a practical standpoint, my online searches have not, for the most part, turned up good secondary sources. My Union officer was a chaplain and a sharpshooter whose regiment brought an end to the Weldon Railroad, and my Confederate officer was in the Battle of Fort Harrison, which was lost to the Union troops. I would have thought that any number of key word combinations on these people and topics would turn up some rich details, but that's not been the case.
