regimental history help?

[18thmississippi]

Okay so im trying to do impression research a on specific regiment for a specific battle. How or where can I find records that state what the regiment was wearing, what guns did they have, how many men were there, etc. I know the archives for the state would have it, but I don't know where to begin as to how or where I can locate that information.

If a regimental history is available, particularly if it is fairly contemporary, that would probably be your best bet for one source for all the information that you want.

The above information would be most helpful.

Quartermaster and Ordnance reports would be a good place to start.

where can you find the quartermaster reports ? I live close to the NC archives so if they are there that's great but how do i request to see them ?
