[Wellwords]

4th Georgia Cavalry

They were from the coastal region of southeastern Georgia. "The only formal military forces remaining in the area were several independent companies of partisan rangers or cavalry mustered for state service and three excess mounted companies which had been spun off from the 26th (formerly 13th) Georgia Volunteer Infantry and were left behind when that regiment went north in the early summer of 1862 to join the Confederate forces being gathered in Northern Virginia to confront the growing Federal armies located around Washington DC." " In early 1862, Confederate military authorities organized these various mounted companies into "The Cavalry Command South of the Altamaha River"" Which eventually became the 4th, after several re-organizations and re-namings and the addition of more companies, and then even more companies.
