History of the 47th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment

"In this important volume, Bill Bowers has compiled an in-depth look at the 47th Georgia Regiment that should prove invaluable for anyone interested in the history or genealogy of Georgians who served in the 47th, which is shown to be a constantly evolving unit due to casualties, captures, promotions, transfers, illness, absentees, and other factors. His rosters are made even more useful by a chronological updating of personnel changes, along with correspondence, orders, and editor's notes. Topping off the volume are "The Memoirs of Captain Benjamin S. Williams," which gives an captivating first-hand narrative of the role of the 47th during the Civil War.
