Mangham http://www.mangham.org/ "Governor Brown issued a proclamation on June 22, 1863, calling for the enrollment of volunteers by the first day of August. "The governor's call summonded Georgian to enlist for six months, during which time recruits would "attend to their ordinary avocations at home, to stand ready at a moment's warning to take up arms and drive back the plundering bands of marauders from their own immediate section of country. "This resulted in formation of twelve regiments, two legions, and twenty separate battalions organised throughout the state". Some of these State Guards were also part of other regiments as well. ======================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
