Talk:List of Georgia Confederate Civil War units

Here's the only other one of these I found: List of New York Civil War regiments. They split Cavalry & Infantry. I hope to do that when I get some more with their nicknames. Jolomo 19:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Needs Serious Work to Update

This page is badly disorganized and out of sync. There are 2 different Infantry sections §1 and §10. Some of the units listed in one of these 2 sections does not appear in the list of the other. The table in §10 makes a sad attempt to show the organizational structure of the different regiments by showing their parent Brigade units at only 3 battles/campaigns. But, these units were shuffled around from brigade to brigade so often, you'd need a column for virtually every battle (or timeframe). The 18th Georgia Volunteer Infantry, for instance, stayed a part of the Hood's Texas Brigade up until the Battle of Antietam (September 17, 1862). But that's not even mentioned. Cobb's Brigade was referred to as the Georgia Brigade (also the 1st Georgia Brigade), which then moved to Wofford, and later others. I'd recommend, since this table would require a hurculean effort to correct, that it should be removed, and the regiments listed should be merged into §1at the top. Any thughts?

I just merged section 1 and section 10. But now as I look at the rest of this list, I am seeing Legions and Battalions listed. They do not belong on a list about Regiments. I'll wait before I edit this, but it needs more serious updating. TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 00:38, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

This several volume list of books is a great resource for this list. Take a peek here. TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 00:41, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

I agree that the later sections with their tables could need some work. Or be deleted altogether as the units are essentially just a repetition from the upper sections in a format with little consistency. I also just undid your merge, good faith as it was. With your merge you deleted several units altogether, like e.g. three of the four 1st Infantry regiments and all of the battalions. Please be a little careful with those. As far as legions and battalions go, all independent Georgia units belong here, it isn´t limited to regiments. Don´t hang yourself up on the title with regiment being just the most common organisatorial type that could be substituted with unit (as is the case in several of those lists). ...GELongstreet (talk) 01:02, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

@GELongstreet: Thanks for the revert. Didn't realized I missed so much. But if we are going to list ALL independent units, the page name needs to change and the lede statement as well. I don't mind, they just need to change to stop the possibility of misleading folks. TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 01:16, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

And ... moved. By the way all other Confederate lists had been at the units format already. ...GELongstreet (talk)

@GELongstreet: This site might come in handy as a reference. It was sent to me from a Georgia Facebook site tonight... Have a look. It appears to be wiki-like in its format. But it might have useful sources listed. Family Searcg website --TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹ (Tadg^Talk) 04:40, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
