Chapter 4: Events of 1862 naval operations below Savannah organization for defense Lee succeeded by Pemberton the State Troopsfall of Fort Pulaski Hunter's orders skirmish on Whitemarsh island. The year 1862 opened with considehe least delay. On reaching Richmond, Lee was appointed military adviser of the president, and on March 14th, Maj.-Gen. John C. Pemberton. an officer of the old army, of fine reputation as an engineer, was appointed to the command of the departmenst commendable courage and enterprise. In a communication to the adjutant-general of the Confederate States from General Pemberton on April 9th, the latter says that he addressed an inquiry to Adjt.-Gen. H. C. Wayne, of Georgia, asking for an expnted upon at any one time within the next two or three months for the defense of Savannah. My own opinion is, said General Pemberton, after a great deal of inquiry, that even this number is an overestimate. I am convinced that there is a general i

fforts were made to carry the breastworks, which were as often repulsed with heavy loss. Three times the Federals succeeded in mounting the parapet, and once made a lodgment and attempted to mine. The Georgians and Louisianians, said General Pemberton, behaved with distinguished courage and steadiness throughout. At this point the enemy did not give up his attack until nightfall. On the right, during the attack on General Lee, a portion of the Federal line of assault was gallantly repulsed by the Forty-second Georgia and Twenty-eighth Louisiana. General Pemberton included among the regiments entitled to the highest distinction the Fortieth, Forty-second and Fifty-second Georgia regiments. The loss of the brigade, 15 killed and 39 wounded, was mainly in the Forty-second and Fortieth. General Barton estimated the Federal dead in their front at 650. The punishment of the Federals was appalling to them, and served to postpone the fall of Vicksburg for half a year. In his offici

On the organization of the regiment Captain Johnson was elected colonel. The Fortieth was assigned to service first in Tennessee, then in Mississippi; was engaged with distinction in the battle of Chickasaw Bayou in December, 1862, and shared the battles and hardships of the Vicksburg campaign, forming part of the garrison which surrendered with Pemberton. Exchanged in time to participate in the battle of Missionary Ridge, it bore an honorable part in the Atlanta and Tennessee campaigns. In the spring of 1865 it was consolidated with the Forty-first and Forty-third Georgia, retaining its own number, and after taking part in the campaign of the Carolinas, surrendered with General Johnston. At the organization of the Forty-first Georgia, Charles A. McDaniel was made colonel; William E. Curtis, lieutenant-colonel; John Knight, major; E. E

tpouring of citizens honored his memory. During the siege of Vicksburg, soon afterward begun, and continued until the surrender July 4, 1863, the remnants of the ten Georgia regiments shared the heroic services and uncomplaining endurance of Pemberton's little army. There was not much opportunity for those sallies which enliven the history of famous sieges in romance. The only ones mentioned by General Stevenson were made by Georgians. Lieut.-Col. C. S. Guyton, of the Fifty-seventh Georgir of Cumming's brigade, who before the opening of the land campaign had made daring reconnoissances, was distinguished in the battle of Champion's Hill, and after the Federal lines had been drawn about the fated city, carried dispatches between Pemberton and Johnston, seeming to be able to go and come at will, as if he bore a charmed life. Walker and his Georgians took part in the ineffectual defense of Jackson, Miss., against Sherman, after the fall of Vicksburg. Here also Marcellus A. Sto

On November 4, 1862, he was co the order, were compelled to request General Cumming to turn over his brigade to the senior colonel, and report to General Pemberton in Mississippi. There he took command of a brigade composed of the Thirty-fourth, Thirty-fifth, Thirty-ninth, Fiftllant men had their first serious fighting at the battle of Baker's Creek, where a crushing defeat was sustained by General Pemberton, upon whom battle was forced at a time when he did not have his army in position to make even a creditable defense bited such fitness for command that on March 7, 1862, he was commissioned brigadier-general and ordered to report to J. C. Pemberton, at that time commanding the department of South Carolina and Georgia. In June he was placed in command of the dist
