Book excerpt: The Georgia 1st Cavalry Battalion was organized with four companies about September 27, 1861. The First Battalion was organized from the First Squadron, Georgia Cavalry and other independent companies some dating from the Revolutionary war era. The battalion was assigned to the Department of Georgia under the command of Brigadier General H. W. MERCER. The Department of Georgia was a division of the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and East Florida, under Major General P. G. T. BEAUREGARD. The Battalion was commanded by Lt. Colonel Charles SPALDING. The 1st Battalion served as coastal guards, covering the area from lower South Carolina to the Altamaha River in Georgia, until early 1863. On January 20, 1863, the Battalion was consolidated with the 2nd Cavalry Battalion and designated as the 5th Cavalry Regiment per S. O. # 20, Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The 5th Georgia Cavalry was assigned to Major General "Fighting Joe" WHEELER'S Cavalry Corps in June of 1864 and fought almost constantly from that time until the end of the war. They participated in the March to Sea and the Carolina's Campaign. This unit participated in the horrid affair at Ebenezer where Sherman's troops pulled the pontoon bridge as hundreds of negroes who were following the army were trying to cross. Hundreds drowned in the stream. Gen, Wheeler mentions in his memoirs that his troops rescued at least 50 that the Yankees had left to drown.

Book excerpt: The Georgia 1st Cavalry Regiment was essentially gathered from the counties of Meriwether, Floyd, and Lumpkin Counties in the fall of 1861, and organized at Rome, Ga. These men ended up fighting on their own farms and in their own homes as Sherman's troops ransacked northwest Georgia twice, once in the early spring of 1864, and again in the fall as he initiated the March to the Sea. Read the account of O. P. Hargis of Cassville on our werbsite. His farm was just adjacent to where I live a bit northwest of Cartersville. Companies, A, B, and C were organized and mustered into Confederate service on 4 MAR 1862 (28 May 1862). Following early skirmishes in East Tennessee, they took an active part in Bragg's Kentucky Campaign. Later they served in Pegram's Davidson's J. J. Morrison's Iverson's and C. C. Crew's Brigade. They fought at Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Knoxville, Atlanta, Savannah, and the Carolinas Campaign. They were surrendered with less than 50 officers and men by General Joseph E. Johnston at Durham Station, Orange County, NC on 26 APR 1865.

This book was released on 2015-10-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This was a reserve unit to the Georgia 1st Cavalry Battalion, mostly made up of older men and young boys. It saw similar service, but was not merged into the Georgia 5th Cavalry Regiment when it was formed, but was a distinct unit during the March to the Sea and the Carolinas Campaign. The National Archives Index shows 674 names on the roster where the Georgia 1st Cavalry Battalion shows 758. These men were primarily older men and young boys who were "honorably" a part of the 1st Battalion in peace time, but unfit for service when the war came. When the 1864 State Militia census was performed, many of these names appear. ... In 1861 actual hostilities began, & early in the summer all volunteer companies seeing the necessity for active preparation, the Troops went into an encampment at Hester's Bluff, near Sunbury in the month of August [1861] for the purpose of drilling, & doing picket duty on the coast. The reserve units were called out in advance of Sherman's invasion in 1864 and they are named often in the battles around Atlanta, Stoneman's Raid, Griswoldville, Waynesboro, Savannah, and the Carolina's Campaign. Many of these records are quite spotty and the particular units are not identified, but it is clear that they served arduous duty for that last year and a half of the war and they surrendered with Johnston in North Carolina in April, 1865. Companies Of The Georgia 1st Cavalry Battalion Reserves Sifikas states that this battalion consisted of four companies. The men were from the counties of Effingham, Screven, Liberty, Bulloch, Lamar, and McIntosh.

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.

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.

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.

Cobb organized the Reserve. Though technically these men were on six month enlistments, many served for the duration of The War. Many served as POW guards at Andersonville and Macon. Both units were comprised of men otherwise exempt from Confederate States conscription.

This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1st Regiment, South Carolina Cavalry, also known as Hampton's Cavalry Brigade, was organized June 25, 1862, using as its nucleus the 1st South Carolina Cavalry Battalion which had been organized October, 1861. Upon being mustered into Confederate service the First South Carolina Cavalry was assigned to duty in the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. It served that command until late 1862. Ordered north, the unit then saw service in the Army of Northern Virginia. It served in that Army until March 18, 1864. Returned to South Carolina, the regiment rejoined the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, serving in that command until the spring of 1865. It then joined the Army of Tennessee, serving in that Army for the duration of the War.Though the 1st Regiment was part of the surrender of the Army of Tennessee on April 26, 1865 at Greensboro, North Carolina is was most likely not present.The Movie, "The Outlaw Josey Wells" staring Clint Eastwood, and the Book, "Manse" by Wilton Earle are based on the life of Manson, Sherrill Jolly, Sergeant in Company F of this regiment. During The Civil War, Manse Jolly served as a Confederate Scout in The Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland and Tennessee. But it was not until The War ended and he returned to his farm in the Anderson District of South Carolina that he became famous as a Hero of The Confederacy -- and Infamous as an Outlaw.MANSE is a story of struggle and intrigue, corruption and brutality, love and honor -- and one man's inexorable path from battlefield horrors to trauma induced madness. Get the true story here. Manse Jolly captures our hearts because he was not the son of a Plantation, and did not live off the backs of slaves. He was a small farmer with 400 acres, who worked hard, lived life, and saw it come crashing down when the Union armies came marching South. Manse Jolly lived his life and loved South Carolina. He defended it, and he honored his southern roots all of his life.

In 1863-64 the Atlanta Arsenal employed nearly 5,500 men and women.It is unknown where in the state these men were recruited.

Book excerpt: The 62nd had its roots in the 2nd Regiment, and 15th and 16th Battalions of Georgia Partisan Rangers. When these units were reorganized in July 1862 they became the 62nd Regiment Georgia Volunteer Infantry, composed of seven Georgia companies and three North Carolina companies after the removal of Co. L.In September, 1862, the 62nd was redesignated as the 62nd Cavalry Regiment Partisan Rangers. The compiled service records indicate that this regiment was also known as the 2nd Regiment Georgia Partisan Rangers; however, the muster rolls for this unit do not support this. In July 1864 the 62nd was dissolved by S.O. #161, A&IGO (11 July 1864) and the Georgia companies were consolidated with companies A, C, and D of the 20th Battalion Georgia Volunteer Cavalry to form the 8th Regiment Georgia Volunteer Cavalry by S.O. #254, A&IGO (25 October 1864). The North Carolina companies were ordered to consolidate with the five North Carolina companies of the 7th Regiment Confederate Cavalry and Co. C, 12th Battalion North Carolina Volunteer Cavalry to form the 16th Battalion North Carolina Volunteer Cavalry. Some of the men may have also joined with the NC 10th Cavalry Battalion.Company G was attached to the Department of North Carolina and Southern Virginia, saw action in the Battle of Bentonville, and surrendered with the Army of Tennessee. The new 8th Cavalry served in J. Dearing's Brigade in the Army of Northern Virginia and was active in the Petersburg siege north and south of the James River and around Appomattox. In December 1863, it reported 408 effective men. The unit cut through the Federal lines at Appomattox Court House and disbanded April 11, 1865.
