War of 1812

The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Britain between 1812 and 1815.
Three main theaters of operation:

History of the Georgia Militia, 1783-1861 v1. Campaigns and Generals. Indexed. An introduction to the components of the
General Militia and Volunteers, tracing the militia system from its organization by Oglethorpe in 1733, through the Revolutionary
War, and then detailing each of the major conflicts in which the Georgia Militia served afterwords. Eye- witness reports
punctuate these heavily documented accounts. Lists of units (identified by county of origin where possible) in active service
during these campaigns are appended. For historians, the important Militia Acts of the Legislature are outlined, followed by a
selection of General and Special Orders from the chain of command. For genealogists, a list of battalion and regimental
designations by county is included, along with a table of organization for the 27 brigades and 13 divisions of the Georgia Militia.
The volume closes with the biographies of the 205 Georgia Militia generals. 424 pg

History of the Georgia Militia, 1783-1861 v2. Counties and Commanders, Part One. Indexed. The militia histories of fifteen
counties, CHATHAM, BURKE, JEFFERSON, TATTNALL, BALDWIN, MORGAN, JASPER, MONROE, BIBB,
WARE, PIERCE, CAMPBELL, SUMTER, COBB, and FLOYD, placing them in the pertinent political and economic
contexts in which they existed. Each chapter is richly documented with biographical and genealogical information on men and
women residing in the county. Company roster and payrolls are attached in numerous cases. These pages contain a veritable
genealogical treasure trove, since some counties have lost most if not all of their early public records. 385 pg

History of the Georgia Militia, 1783-1861 v3. Counties and Commanders, Part Two. Indexed. The militia histories of twelve
counties: BLYNN, CAMDEN, EFFINGHAM, WASHINGTON, COLUMBIA, LINCOLN, CLARKE, HABERSHAM,
MUSCOGEE, THOMAS, COLQUITT, and LOUNDES, placing them in the same contexts as those in Volume 2. Of these
counties, several have lost most if not all of their early public records. Company rosters and payrolls are also attached in
numerous cases. 400 pg

History of the Georgia Militia, 1783-1861 v4. Companies. Indexed. The histories of twenty-five representative volunteer
companies, with rosters where pertinent. Among them are the GEORGIA HUSSARS, REPUBLICAN BLUES, MCINTOSH
LIGHT DRAGOONS, MACON VOLUNTEERS, CRAWFORD VOLUNTEERS, FORT GAINES GUARDS, ALBANY
GUARDS, and GATE CITY GUARD, and for genealogists include units in counties that have lost their early records, such as
Crawford, Dougherty, and McIntosh Counties. Military and political historians will appreciate the account of the filibusters in
Georgia: Lopez, Gonzales, the Order of the Lone Star, "the Grey-Eyed Man of Destiny", Henningsen, and the Knights of the
Golden Circle. In addition, there is included a chapter on the military history of the Beaufort District, South Carolina. 375 pg
