South's article is a good starting point. There are also numerous books
on military buttons.
Troiani, D.
2001 "Military Buttons of the American Revolution" Thomas Publications,
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
There is also:
Albert, A.
1975 "Record of American Uniform and Historical Buttons: Bicentennial
Edition". SCS Publications. Fairfax, Virginia.
Since folks are offer up articles instead of books I also suggest:
Sprague, R.
2002 China or Prosser Button Identification and Dating. Historical
Archaeology, Vol. 29:111-127.
There is a good description of Civil War period rubber buttons in
Woshner, M.
1999 "India-Rubber and Gutta-Percha in the Civil War". O'Donnell
Publications. Alexandra, Virginia.

Stan South did a button typology back in the 1960s that is useful. The
illustration is in his "Method and Theory" book I believe, but the
original
article is:
South, Stanley A
1964 Analysis of the Buttons from Brunswick Town and Fort Fisher
Florida
Anthropologist XVII 2
