CWSS battle data: units engaged
name: | cwss_battle_units |
path: | cwss_battle_units.csv |
format: | csv |
Units engaged in each battle in CWSS battle data: battles on each side. These units correspond to units in CWSS units (regiments), and are largely at the size of the regiment. This data does not include naval forces.
This data was extracted from the CWSS database file battleunitlinks.xml
.
The primary sources of the battle unit data are Frederick Dyer (1908), A Compendium of the War of the Rebellion
for the Union forces, and Joseph Crute Units of the Confederate States Army for
Confederate Units. While these data appear relatively complete for the Union,
they do not appear to be complete for the Confederate battles.
Many battles have missing data on the Confederate side (e.g. Gettysburg), and
even within battles, there are sometimes fewer Confederate units than would be
expected.
