In 1861 Captain James J. Morrison resigned his commission in the
United States Cavalry, returned to his home in Cedartown, Georgia,
and was soon authorized by the Confederate War Department to raise
a regiment cavalry. Enlistees-mainly from northwest Georgia-were
offered a $50 bounty, $12 a month and government compensation in
the event their horses were killed in combat. Morrison's troopers
served under General Nathan Bedford Forrest at Murfreesboro, where
they secured victory and Forrest's reputation. They fired the
opening shots at Chickmauga, where they fought so well dismounted
they were mistaken for infantry by Confederate General D. H, Hill.
The regiment was led on numerous raids under General Joseph Wheeler
through the Atlanta Campaign, defeated a Medal of Honor recipient
at Decatur and surrendered at Greensboro to end the war. This book
is the first complete history of the First Georgia Cavalry, who saw
action in Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, South Carolina and North Carolina.
