Fighting Georgians A Brisk Tale of Lee’s Regiment
A detailed history of the Forty-ninth Georgia Infantry, part of Thomas’s Georgia Brigade, tracing its formation near Richmond in 1861, key battles from Seven Pines to Fort Gregg, and the unit's heavy casualties and leadership. It notes a controversial 1863 recruiting proposal to arm enslaved people to replenish ranks, with officers dissenting but General Lee approving the broader plan.
