Tracing the History of the First Georgia Volunteer Infantry (Ramsey’s) and the commands to which it belonged.
"Peculiarly distinguished among the advance guard, where all were distinguished, must be recorded . . . Private J. W. Brown, of Company F, First Georgia Regiment, who, upon hearing the order to fall back, exclaimed, 'I will give them one more shot before I leave,' and while ramming down his twenty-ninth cartridge fell dead at his post." - General Henry R. Jackson in his report of the Battle of Greenbrier River.

Book Work Continues
My apologies for the lack of posts over the past few weeks. Several family emergencies and a week and a half of intense copyedit work on I Will Give Them One More Shot have kept me preoccupied. More posts to come soon.
I have had a lifelong interest in reading about and researching the War Between the States. I enjoyed reenacting for eighteen years, most of that time with the 7th Florida Infantry (recreated). My ancestor, William Henry Marshall, served in the Dahlonega Volunteers, Company “H” of the First Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment (Ramsey's).
