Dear Mr. Burkett, I tried you email address and it bounced back so I hope this reaches you through the digest. I can't help you on the Georgia State Guards. The only thing I can really suggest if the book, Joe Brown's Army: The Georgia State Line, 1862-1865, by William Harris Bragg. It may provide you some detail to Governor Brown's men. Below is a bibliography of Fourth Georgia Cavalry Regiment (Avery's). I hope this is of some helps. Respectfully, Gerald D.
