Perhaps one of the largest undocumented groups of Georgia Civil War Soldiers was Cobb's Legion. This group of combined Cavalry, Infantry, and Artillery Companies was formed from Northeast Georgia Counties - primarily around Athens and included many of the professors at UGA and professional men from the Athen area. It is unfortunate that no regimental history has been written, and to my knowledge, no rosters of this group have been previously published. The infantry companies alone numbered some 2,200 men and I have gotten ahold of the rosters and am transcribing them. The Officers and Company A are now on line (about 300 names). Others will be added over the coming days. The new names are linked from my updates page of the Civil War in Georgia site at http://www.researchonline.net/gacw/updates.htm or you can reach it from the main Civil War in Georgia URL http://www.researchonline.net/gacw Some interesting things I've found about this unit so far. They were in the center of the confederate line at Fredericksburg, positioned behind the stone wall. They received numerous citations and awards throughout the war. Two of the members of company A are identified in the rosters as "colored." Gen. Cobb was killed at Fredericksburg, and the cavalry subsequently became the 9th Cavalry Regiment, but they always retained the Cobb's Cavalry designation in honor of their fallen leader. A biography of the Cavalry commander, Pierce M. B. Young was published by Univ. of Georgia Press in 1964, but this is the ONLY extant book on Cobb's legion that I have found and it it now out of print. Cobb's Legion is the only unit I have found so far that had their own veterinary surgeon. If any of these names are yours, please drop me a note. I would like to start compiling service records and biographies on these men.
