The 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th Georgia volunteer infantry regiments spent
most of the Civil War fighting under Brig. Gen. George Thomas
“Tige” Anderson in Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern
Virginia. Until now, no biographical roster of their members has ever
been published. These Georgians saw it all, from the bloody battle of
First Manassas through the ferocious combat of Second Manassas,
Sharpsburg, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and the long
siege of Petersburg. They finally furled their banners at Appomattox.
Nearly 5,000 men passed through these four Georgia regiments. These
rosters offer a long overdue record of these men. Each roster is
organized by company in a simple and easy to use format. Entries
feature full names (if known), promotions, demotions, casualties,
transfers, and resignations for every rank—an unprecedented look
into men and the structure and evolution of these organizations. They
include the most comprehensive examination of the personnel originally
enlisted and their subsequent service histories within these units in
chronological order for the first time. Compiler and author Richard
Allen has spent nearly two decades researching scores of archives and
other sources to prepare these rosters. He utilized primary sources
such as the Official Records, Compiled Service Records, newspaper
accounts, diaries, letters, census information, burial records, and a
variety of documents from both published sources and private
collections. Students of the Civil War, genealogists, and enthusiasts
of Georgia history will find these rosters invaluable. Everyone who
uses them owes Rick Allen a hearty, and heartfelt, thank you.
