If, in this case, "home guards" means Georgia Militia, the records are scanty to non-existent, but the place to look would probably be the "Militia Enrollment List as Required by the Act of December 14th, 1863" for Crisp County... and if you don't find him listed in Crisp County expand outwards to nearby counties. Typically you won't find muster rolls. Some reconstruction of fragmentary militia unit rosters can be compiled from Georgia Confederate Pension records and records left by some early precursors of the UDC, but those almost always relate to the very young members of those units still alive 40 or 50 years later, not to the elderly members such as this Louis Lanier would have been.

On of my 4gfathers was named Patrick Stuart McGee. He came from North Carolina (from where before that unknown) and he died around 1850 in Georgia, Cherokee County. The spellings of his middle name could have been an ancestral surname, and he could have come from anywhere including Scotland. But the spelling still bugs me and I wonder if he could have been, or his ancestors been Jacobites. If so, perhaps there are other examples of this name that could form a pattern leading back 350 years or so?

During the Scottish Jacobite rebellion there were a bunch of Scots/Irish families leaving Ireland and Scotland. Some to flee religious persecution....others to flee political persecution. Whatever the reason I just learned an important thing concerning these people. Many of those that fled CHANGED THEIR NAMES to keep from being located by the bad guys.

To get details, it helps to give details. Louis Lanier didn't "join the Civil War". He joined a unit which served in that war, and it would help a lot to know exactly which unit. I looked and found no Lewis Lanier in the 64th Georgia Infantry Regiment... but the 64th Georgia's records were poor and if there happened to be one who's not listed in Soldiers of Georgia, Newport is south of Tallahassee, in North Florida. The 64th Georgia spent about 6 months in 1863 at Camp Randolph which was located at what is now called Wakulla in Wakulla County. Many people call it Wakulla Station, though that is not it's official name. It's not a town, but rather just a named place and the "Station" probably refers to it having been a stop on the now long-defunct railroad from Tallahassee to St. Marks. Camp Randolph was not far from Newport, Florida. If he did happen to serve in the 64th Georgia, there's some information about that unit's activities in my web page about my 2-great grandfather John English Autry: http://pone.com/ts/rw002.htm Newport was the site of a skirmish in early 1865. Confederate defenders took up the planking on a bridge over the St. Marks River there, and blocked a Union amphibious attack intended to flank the Confederate defenses at St. Marks, and then probably to advance toward and take Tallahassee. Thwarted at Newport, the Union troops turned and advanced northward along the east bank of the St. Marks... intending to cross it at the Natural Bridge in southern Leon County. There they were defeated and completely routed by the local Confederate units. The surviving Union troops retreated (by ship) all of the way back in Key West within 3 days. This Newport in Florida would only make sense as a place of enlistment if Mr. Lanier served in a unit that defended Georgia at locations along the Florida coast. The 64th Georgia was the only infantry unit that did that and only infantry units are listed in Soldiers of Georgia. But the 29th Georgia Cavalry Battalion was also in the area briefly and a number of Georgia artillery units served there for very extended periods of time... their main purpose being to prevent penetration of Union units into southern Georgia by sailing... or "steaming"... up rivers from the Gulf of Mexico. If Mr. Lanier served in a Georgia artillery unit I would probably be able to confirm that it was a unit that served in North Florida, if you can identify the unit and tell me what it was. Although the original contingent of such Georgia units as were posted to Florida would have been enrolled in Georgia, any individuals who later joined them would have been enrolled wherever the unit was at the time of enrollment, and even those Georgia artillery units (except Campbell's Independent Company of Georgia Siege Artillery which garrisoned Fort Ward at St. Marks using very large guns removed from Castillio de San Marcos/Fort Marion at St. Augustine, Florida) were pretty mobile... and constantly moved around.
