My grandfather fought in Company E of the 175th, and I have found the followng sources to be of great itnerest.
Joseph Balkoski, "Beyond the Beachhead: The 29th Division in Normandy" (available from Amazon for about $12), is easily the best and most thoroughly researched history. googlebooks has a large excerpt published at
google.com/books?id=RDYiS6TzZMQC&printsec=frontcover&dq=beyond+the+beachhead&sig=hY_fpyev9PD8QKbshrjFTmpvJIw">http://books.google.com/books?id=RDYiS6TzZMQC&printsec=frontcover&dq=beyond+the+beachhead&sig=hY_fpyev9PD8QKbshrjFTmpvJIw
The official US Army history of the Normandy Campaign has a lot on the 175th, due to the large role they played at Isigny, Grandcamp, and St. Lo .
Reference: US Army History of WW2 volumn entitled "Cross-Channel Attack" by G. A. Harrison.
