    Local libraries, particularly in towns that furnished a Civil War rifle company or other organization, are good resources to find information about a unit.  For Instance, the libraries & Historical Societies in Westborough, Mass., Marlborough, Mass. & Stoneham, Mass. have information on the rifle companies & men that enlisted from those towns many in the 13th Mass .  Some have period newspapers available on microfilm.  If you are close to such a library it is a great resource.  Westborough Library;     Marlborough Library;    Marlborough Historical Society,  Stoneham Historical Society.

Other Regiments:

     Speaking of Civil War Units I have links to some other sites for Massachusetts regiments.  Susan Harnwell runs an excellent site on the 15th Mass.  She gave me some advice on getting this site off the ground.  Check out her roster and the incredibly detailed information it contains.  I plan to implement a similar roster here, at some future time. 15th Mass.
 

     Another unit on-line is the 28th Mass.  Harvard educated private John B. Noyes, Co. B, 13th Mass., was commissioned 2d Lt. in this Irish Regiment in April 1863.  At one point during Grant's Overland Campaign Captain Noyes became the commanding officer of the unit, all other officers being killed or wounded in action.  The site contains a good history of the unit which never had an official history written.  28th Mass.
 

     The 2nd Mass Cavalry contained a group of recruits from California, designated the Cal 100. Second Lt. Charles Barnard Fox, Co. K, 13th Mass. made a brief appearance in the 2d Mass Cavalry, for a couple of months in 1863 before moving into the 55th Mass, where he rose to the rank of brevet Colonel.  Second Mass Cavalry.

     The 26th Pennsylvania is a difficult regiment to research.  The people who run this site have done a very good job collecting hard to find information about this unit.  Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania Infantry.
