Various Useful Sites

These are some sites I've been visiting often for my current project. I'll try to add a separate entry for each one, as well:

The Battles for Chickamauga, High Command Politics, National Park Service
contains a breakdown of the corps of the Union Army and Army of the Cumberland;
Five elements: Crittenden XXI Corps; Thomas's XIV Corps, Alex McCook's XX Corps (Union Army); David S. Stanley's Cavalry Corps (Army of the Cumberland); and Gordon Granger's Reserve Corps. https://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/civil_war_series/10/sec2.htm

The Role of Union Cavalry in the Chickamauga Campaign
Major John J. Londa (Master's thesis,  United States Military Academy, 1978; pub. Ft. Leavenworth, 1991) contains a further breakdown of Stanley's Cavalry Corps, into two divisions of three brigades each, with several officers pertinent to my own Civil War project; namely, A.P. Campbell, E.M. McCook, and Eli Long. Two other officers, Watkins and Lowe, are less often mentioned in my particular sources). See pages 22 and 24 for organization charts. http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a241432.pdf

The Role of Union Cavalry in the Atlanta Campaign
Major Robert Blake Leach (Master's Thesis, University of Kentucky, 1980; pub. Ft. Leavenworth, 1994) is a helpful summary. It makes a significant point about technological advances during the Civil War, which began to impact the traditional role of cavalry.
