ment, served in east Tennessee and Kentucky in 1862 and the early part of 1863. Of the Sixty-sixth Georgia regiment, the following officers are all of whom a record has been obtained: Col. J. C. Nisbet; Capts. A. H. Reid, Company F; G. V. Hall, Company G, and J. Thornton, Company I. But Capt. Thomas L. Langston is mentioned in the reports of July and August, 1864, as ranking captain in command. This regiment served in the Atlanta and Tennessee campaigns, losing heavily in the battle of July 22d, at Atlanta, and again in the battle of Nashville, where with the First Georgia Confederate it was led by Lieut.-Col. James C. Gordon. In the spring of 1865 these two regiments were consolidated with the First battalion sharpshooters and the Twenty-fifth, Twenty-ninth and Thirtieth regiments, under the name of the First Georgia Confederate battalion. Under General Johnston it participated in the campaign of the Carolinas, laying down its arms near Goldsboro, April 26, 1865. The First b

osed to be part of the DeGress battery; the First regiment captured the line in its front with two guns, and the remaining regiments took the Federal lines up to a point near Bald hill. In the same fight Manigault's South Carolina brigade bravely participated, capturing the guns of DeGress' battery on the north side of the Georgia railroad. The location of these guns was described as follows by the adjutant-general of M. L. Smith's division (Official Records, serial No. 74, p. 189): Friday, July 22d—pushed forward and occupied [Confederate] works with our main line at 6:30 a. m., the First brigade on the left and Second brigade on the right [north] of the railroad. The skirmish line was pushed forward, supported by a section of Battery A, First Illinois light artillery. Then the works were reversed, and Battery A, First Illinois light artillery, placed in position, two guns on the right and two on the left of the railroad, which at that place runs through a deep cut, and Battery

hich they discharged their arduous duties. Col. W. L. L. Bowen, commanding the Fourth Florida, one of the regiments of Stovall's brigade, bears the following testimony: Much of the credit and success accorded the Fourth Florida regiment is ascribed to General Stovall and staff for the efficient and prompt manner in which he conducted his brigade. During the Atlanta campaign we find the same testimony borne to the efficiency and gallantry of Stovall and his command. In the battle of the 22d of July, at Atlanta, Stovall's brigade crossed the enemy's works and captured a battery, but the Confederates were so hard pressed by the fresh troops that came to that part of the enemy's line, that they had to fall back without securing the enemy's guns. This brigade, which embraced the Fortieth, Forty-first, Forty-second, Forty-third and Fifty-second Georgia, was also in the Tennessee campaign. At the battle of Nashville it was one of the few left in efficient organization, and helped to sa
