Book Description
The provisional Texas government gave James Bowie "command." He and James Fannin were appointed "colonels." After Bowie died at the Alamo, Fannin was left sole "Colonel" of the "Texas Army." In 1862, James H. Fannin organized Company B of the 60th Georgia Regiment but did not enter service with it. He later organized and commanded the 1st Georgia Reserves. These men served primarily as prison guards at Andersonville. The reserves were a part of some 5,000 men who served as guards and staff at different times. Col. Fannin remembered that he seldom had more than a thousand or twelve hundred men fit for duty. At the close of the war the prisoners at Andersonville were transferred to Camp Lawton near Waynesboro and Florence South Carolina. Some of the men of the 1st may have accompanied the prisoners, but it appears most of them were involved in the battle of West Point and captured along with Col. Fannin.

Book Description
The Georgia 60th Infantry Regiment was a part of the Lawton-Gordon-Evans Georgia Brigade (so-named for its three principal commanders). It was one of the premier brigades of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, serving with distinction from the Seven Days battles around Richmond (May-June 1862) until its surrender at Appomattox Court House (April 9, 1865). The brigade was initially comprised of six regiments (13th, 26th, 31st, 38th, 60th, and 61st Georgia), which were raised at the call of Governor Joe Brown for the defense of the Georgia coast following the bombardment of Fort Sumter. At Appomattox, approximately 750 officers and men of the Georgia brigade were surrendered to Federal authorities, all that was left of a brigade that mustered nearly 7,000 men three years before, and that had been reinforced during the course of the war by another 800 men from the 9th, 12th, and 18th Georgia Battalions. Only the combined Louisiana Brigades of Hays and Taylor (12 regiments) lost more men than did Lawton-Gordon-Evan's Georgia Brigade. Companies Of The GA 60th Infantry Regiment First Company A - Bartow County Second Company A - Anthony Grays - Meriwether County Company B - Fannin Guards - Troop And Whitfield Counties Company C - Walker Independents - Whitfield County Company D - Whitfield Volunteers - Whitfield County Company E - Bartow Avengers - Whitfield County Company F - Gilmer Volunteers - Gilmer & Whitfield Counties Company G - Chatham County - Dooly Guards Company H - Bartow County Company I - Walker County Company K - Bartow and Paulding Counties
