Walker County, Georgia "Walker Light Guards" We first camped at Big Shanty, GA on the W. & A. Road. Our first service was in East Tennessee in the spring and early summer of 1862. In the latter part of the summer and fall of 1862, we made the Kentucky campaign under General E. Kirby Smith. We then crossed the Cumberland Mountains at the Cumberland Gap back into East Tennessee. From there we were ordered to middle Tennessee and to Murfreesboro. From there our Division was ordered, about the 20th of December 1862, to Vicksburg, Mississippi. Made the Mississippi campaign, fought through the battle of Baker's Creek, Miss. on May 16, 1863; fell back into Vicksburg the next day; went through a forty-eight days' siege, and surrendered on the 4th day of July 1863, and were paroled. There was more or less fighting every day during the siege. We were exchanged about September 1863. Our Division was ordered to Sweetwater and Loudon in East Tennessee. Remained until General Longstreet left Bragg's army at Missionary Ridge and relieved us. We then returned to Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain. Camped on Lookout Mountain until November 23rd, then we were ordered off the mountain and to Missionary Ridge. We took our position on the extreme right of line and on the 25th of November we fought the battle of Missionary Ridge. We lost the Ridge and fell back to Dalton, Ga., where we took up winter quarters and remained there until about the 7th or 8th of May 1864. Sherman appeared in our front and flanked us out of our position. We fell back to Ressaca, fought the battle of Resaca, Ga. the 14th and 15th of May. We had more or less fighting to do every day during that campaign from Dalton to Atlanta and Jonesboro, and from May 7th or 8th until September 1st. Among the battles fought during the campaign were Resaca, New Hope Church, Kennesaw Mountain, Peachtree Creek, Atlanta and Jonesboro. There were many skirmishes, and picket fighting besides battles mentioned above. By James B. Hill, A member of this Company OFFICERS Hill, Charles D.
