Book Description
At the beginning of the Civil War, Georgia ranked third among the Confederate states in manpower resources, behind only Virginia and Tennessee. With an arms-bearing population somewhere between 120,000 and 130,000 white males between the ages of 16 and 60, this resource became an object of a great struggle between Joseph Brown, governor of Georgia, and Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy. Brown advocated a strong state defense, but as the war dragged on Davis applied more pressure for more soldiers from Georgia. In December 1863, the state's general assembly reorganized the state militia and it became known as Joe Brown's Pets. Civil War historians William Scaife and William Bragg have written not only the first history of the Georgia Militia during the Civil War, but have produced the definitive history of this militia. Using original documents found in the Georgia Department of Archives and History that are too delicate for general public access, Scaife and Bragg were granted special permission to research the material under the guidance of an archivist and conducted under tightly controlled conditions of security and preservation control.

Book Description
Excerpt from Correspondence Between the Secretary of War and Governor Brown, Growing Out of a Requisition Made Upon the Governor for the Reserve Militia of Georgia to Be Turned Over to Confederate Control While we have been sorely pressed by the enemy a camp of Federal prisoners has been kept in the rear of our army, which has added greatly to our embarrassments, and has it seems required all the small force of Confederate Reserves, organized by Major General Cobb, with other cc cassional' reinforcements to guard them. The reserve force organized under the late Conscript Act for State de fence, has been thus employed, I presume, by order of the President, and in the hour of her peril Georgia has not had a single one of them at the front with a musket in his hand to aid in her defence. Had the militia'been at his command for such service as he might have ordered, and at such place as he might designate, the presumption is that the same remark might have been applicable to them, as other employment could, as in case of the local companies under the President's command, have been found for them at other places while 'the enemy were besieging Atlanta.
