This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Georgia 6th Cavalry Battalion State Guards was formed in August 1863 to serve for six months as local defense in the northwest section of the state. The battalion was comprised of horse soldiers from Chattooga and Walker counties. The only verified engagement with the enemy is noted on January 22, 1864, at the "Battle of Subligna" in Chattooga County. As Sherman threatened in the spring of 1864, most of these men probably joined in with Wheeler's or Forrest's troops for the Atlanta and Carolinas campaign, but records are sparse.

Howell Cobb. The State Guards were short-lived. They were disbanded by early 1864 due to pressure from the CS government and changes in the conscription law. This unit, the 2nd State Guards was also known as the Atlanta Arsenal Battalion. The arsenal was located at the racetrack outside the city's western limits. It produced percussion caps and artillery and small-arms ammunition, probably as many as 75,000 rounds per day by August 1862. In 1863-64 the Atlanta Arsenal employed nearly 5,500 men and women.It is unknown where in the state these men were recruited.

This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Georgia 4th Cavalry Regiment (AveryÕs) was formed with eleven companies in January, 1863, using Avery's 23rd Georgia Cavalry Battalion as its nucleus. It served for a time with the Conscript Department in Tennessee, then was assigned to J.J. Morrison's, C.C. Crews', and Iverson's Brigade. The regiment participated in the Chickamauga, Knoxville, and Atlanta Campaigns, skirmished in Northern Georgia and East Tennessee, and took part in the defense of Savannah. In January, 1865, the unit was reorganized and called the 12th Cavalry. It went on to fight in the Carolinas and surrendered with the Army of Tennessee. Research of this unit is complicated by the fact that there was another 4th Cavalry (ClinchÕs). No roster of the 23rd Cavalry Battalion or the 4th Cavalry (AveryÕs) has been found. The records are all filed in the state archive microfilm as the GA 12th Cavalry Regiment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1860 the commissioned officers of The Georgia Hussars, The Effingham Troop, The Liberty Independent Troop, Liberty Guards, Bryan Troop, and McIntosh Light Dragoons, met in Savannah for the purpose of organizing a Regiment of Cavalry. The group went as far as electing a Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel. The attempt to organize a regiment was a failure. In October 1861 the Liberty Independent Troop, The Liberty Guards, McIntosh Light Dragoons, and The Lamar Rifles organized into the 1st Battalion Georgia Cavalry.The Effingham Hussars, The Screven Troop, The Bulloch Troop, The Georgia Hussars, The Chatham Light Horse, and the Blue Cap Cavalry organized as the 2nd Battalion Georgia Cavalry in April 1862.The 2nd Battalion was stationed at Savannah, Isle of Hope, Skidaway Island, and Charleston, South Carolina. This battalion saw action in light skirmishing along the South Carolina & Georgia coast. On January 20, 1863 the 5th Georgia Cavalry was officially organized by consolidation of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of Georgia Cavalry by Special Order # 20, issued by the War Department of the Confederacy. Not officially formed until January 1863, planning had been preceding since the failed attempt at organizing a regiment in 1860. The regimental flag is dated 1862, and at least one letter written on March 20, 1862, has a return address of Wm. M. Henderson, 2nd Battalion 5 GA Cavalry, Savannah, Ga. It appears at least some troopers in the 2nd Battalion were referring to the unit as the 5th Georgia in early 1862. The 5th Georgia Cavalry saw action from Florida to Virginia, ending service in North Carolina, on April 26, 1865.
