The 46th Georgia Infantry Regiment was formed during the spring of 1862 with men from Upson, Schley,
Harris, Muscogee, Chattahoochee, Webster, Marion and Talbot counties. The unit served in Georgia, then South Carolina where it was involved in the conflicts at Secessionville, and Gaston and Frampton's Plantation. In May, 1863, assigned to General Gist's Brigade, it moved to Mississippi. After taking part in the siege of Jackson the regiment joined the Army of Tennessee and fought on many battlefields from Chickamauga to Atlanta, then saw action in Tennessee and North Carolina.
