Old Third Georgia in Civil War Valor at Malvern Hill
A 19th century sketch recounts the Old Third Georgia regiment’s formation in 1861 from nine counties, Ambrose Wright as colonel, and its costly action at Malvern Hill. It notes raids on the Fanny supply steamer, battles near Oak Grove, Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, and Petersburg, with heavy losses and repeated leadership changes through 1864.
