Book excerpt: The 63rd Georgia Volunteer Regiment was both an infantry and a heavy artillery unit during its service to the Confederacy. It was originally organized in Savannah commanded by Colonel George A. Gordon. The nucleus of the 63d Regiment Ga. Inf. was Captain George A. Gordon's Co., which was attached to the 1st (Olmstead's) Regiment Ga. Volunteer Infantry from its creation on May 30, 1861 to April 26, 1862. The company was then divided into three companies and renamed the 13th Battalion. Ga. Volunteer Inf. (also known as the Phoenix Battn. and as Gordon's Battn.). In December 1862, the battalion was increased to regimental size by the addition of 1st Co. A, 12th Battn. Ga. Light Artillery, which became Co. A and six newly organized companies, which were partly created by transferring men from companies of the 13th Battn. Ga. Inf. Company A, of the 13th Battn. Ga. Inf. became Co. F; Co. B became Co K; Co. C became Co. B, of the newly formed regiment. The newly formed regiment was officially designated the 63d Regiment Ga. Infantry. With more than 1,100 officers and men, the unit was assigned to the Departments of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. It served first in Savannah and Charleston, then joined the Army of Tennessee in time to participate in the Atlanta Campaign. It ended the war in North Carolina.

Co. B and Co. K (the Satilla Rifles) were formed and became a part of the 1st Brigade, Georgia State Troops in October 1861. Co. B was originally designated as Co. K, 2nd Regiment and the Satilla Rifles were designated as Co. A, 1st Regiment. In April of 1862 both companies were mustered out of the Georgia State Troops and became part of the newly formed 54th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry. Members of the 4th Battalion, Sharpshooters and the 37th Regiment, Georgia Infantry were consolidated to form the 54th Infantry Regiment. The regiment served at first in the department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Prior to 1864, the regiment was often split in assignment with Colonel Way in command of 6 companies and Lieutenant Colonel (major) Rawls the other four companies. In some references the 54th Georgia Volunteer Infantry is known as Rawls' Georgia Infantry. The 54th Georgia was deployed in the coastal defense around the Savannah - Charleston area. They were involved in numerous conflicts in that area including the siege of Battery Wagner on Morris Island, South Carolina. In 1864 the 54th Georgia became a part of Mercer's Brigade and was reassigned to the Army of Tennessee in Dalton Georgia as Sherman was beginning his campaign in Georgia.

Book excerpt: The Georgia 60th Infantry Regiment was a part of the Lawton-Gordon-Evans Georgia Brigade (so-named for its three principal commanders). It was one of the premier brigades of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, serving with distinction from the Seven Days battles around Richmond (May-June 1862) until its surrender at Appomattox Court House (April 9, 1865). The brigade was initially comprised of six regiments (13th, 26th, 31st, 38th, 60th, and 61st Georgia), which were raised at the call of Governor Joe Brown for the defense of the Georgia coast following the bombardment of Fort Sumter. At Appomattox, approximately 750 officers and men of the Georgia brigade were surrendered to Federal authorities, all that was left of a brigade that mustered nearly 7,000 men three years before, and that had been reinforced during the course of the war by another 800 men from the 9th, 12th, and 18th Georgia Battalions. Only the combined Louisiana Brigades of Hays and Taylor (12 regiments) lost more men than did Lawton-Gordon-Evan's Georgia Brigade.

Most of the units' members had seen pre-War militia service. The regiment was mustered in at Camp Bartow, Howard's Grove, Richmond, Virginia in June of 1861. Francis S. Bartow was its first commander. Bartow was killed at First Manassas. Bartow and Gen. Bernard Bee were struggling to hold their ground and many Confederate troops were withdrawing when Jackson and his brigade came up. In the midst of a fierce battle, Bee is reported to have said: "There stands Jackson like a stone wall! Rally behind the Virginians!" The remark has been taken as a tribute to Jackson for standing firm in the face of superior Federal forces, a courageous example and rallying point for Bee, Bartow, and the men of the 8th. Tragically for Bee and Bartow, both were soon killed. Bartow took a bullet in the heart after having one horse shot from under him and receiving a minor wound; Bee was mortally wounded, dying a short time after he was shot. Bartow and Bee became the second and third Confederate generals to be killed in the war, The 8th Georgia continued throughout the war in Virginia except when they accompanied Longstreet to Tennessee, participating in Chickamauga, Chattanooga, and Knoxville. They surrendered at Appomattox.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Georgia 12th Infantry Regiment completed its organization in June of 1861 at Richmond, Va. Upon its arrival in western Virginia, the regiment was assigned to H. R. Jackson's command and participated in Lee's Cheat Mountain campaign. As part of the famous Doles /Cook brigade from central and south Georgia they participated in Stonewall Jackson's Valley campaign, then fought with the Army of Northern Virginia from Seven Days to Cold Harbor. The 12th later took part in Early's Shenandoah Valley operations and the Appomattox campaign. An excellent first hand account of the Doles Cook Brigade was published by Henry W. Thomas of Company G of the 12th Georgia. From the introduction: "No brigade in the Confederate army did more service, or suffered more hardships, and none can boast of a prouder or more brilliant record than that made by the Doles-Cook Brigade. Its regiments were amongst the first to take arms in defense of the South, and did not lay them down until General Robert E. Lee surrendered the army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court-house, Virginia on the 9th day of April, 1865. On that fatal day the remnant of the Doles-Cook Brigade followed the Stars and Bars as gallantly, fought as bravely, and drove the enemy as steadily as they had done in the past. Not until then did they cease to bear arms in defense of the South. Read the history of all the armies of any nation, and you will not find a single one to compare to that of the Confederate army. They were intelligent, brave fearless and determined, but kind and gentlemanly in their bearings, respectful of their officers and obedient to orders. They did not fight for conquest or glory, but simply for the protection of their homes and the independence of the South.
