The Georgia State Line was a unique army. It was raised by the governor of Georgia,
Joseph Brown, on the framework of the already established railroad bridge guard.
Governor Brown realized a need for the railroad guard after Andrews Raid on the
Western and Atlantic Railroad. Andrews raid resulted in what is known as "The Great
Locomotive Chase". 

The Georgia State Line served as a full time army unit. It was not unlike the
Provisional Army of the Confederacy in that respect. However, the State Line was
under the direct command of Governor Joseph Brown. 

Soldiers in the Georgia State Line served mostly within the state of Georgia. They
were garrisoned at Savannah, guarded Georgia's Railroads, and joined the Army of
Tennessee to fight the battles in Northern Georgia. 

Although they were ridiculed by other soldiers in the Confederate army, the
sacrifices made by the men of the Georgia State Line were no less than those of
other military units. This web page is dedicated to the men of the Georgia State
Line."
