I used PERSI to look up Prairie County in Montana, which is where I grew up. I found a list of military records in the Journal of the Little Big Horn Associates. When I selected one article, I was prompted to fill out a request form. I did not go any further. I can see that this would be useful for someone who will take the time to complete serious research.
I did another search using US Serial Set. I found 165 articles in a search for Pomeroy. However, when I opened an article I couldn't find the name Pomeroy anywhere in the text of it. I'm not sure why the article was selected with my search criteria.
Hi, M! As you noted, you can find a lot of stuff in here. PERSI will provide articles for a fee, but keep in mind that you may be interlibrary loan it for free. Since I don't know which article you looked at in the US Serial Set, I can't really answer that question. You may have selected a document page (browse)rather than the page with the "hit" (search term) on it. Thanks for trying this out & commenting.
