Bob,

Historians don't have a monopoly on getting to information.  The things you
want are available to you.  Go to http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/default.htm and
on the left hand side of the page click on "FAQ."   There's an answer about
getting unit history information  that should help you get started.

Cheers,
Janet
