I do not want to start any fights, but I do find Gil Lathrop's "Rio Grande Glory Days" to be an excellent reference. Yes, it is telling stories but dig into the story because things are mentioned in the details. I used it when I was constructing my version of the Third Division and found He was spot on. Mind you as I was doing my preliminary research, I found that His book was an excellent guide and validated what I dug up.
