    Regimental History

    The 18th Georgia Regiment was formed under Army of Northern Virginia, I Corp, Hoods Division, Texas Brigade.

    The 18th Georgia briefly guarded prisoners in Richmond captured at the First battle of Bull Run (Manassas) and served garrison duty for two weeks in Goldsboro, NC In November they were sent north to the area of Dumfries, VA, along the Potomac river where they were attached to the 1st, 4th and 5th Texas infantry regiments to form a "full" Texas Brigade. For the next year they would be an integral member of the Texas Brigade as it fought from the Peninsula Campaign (May - July 1862) to Antietam.

    The regiment was first engaged at the battle of Ethams Landing and the Battle of Seven Pines. It served conspicuously during the Seven Day Battle where, along with their Texas compatriots, they broke the line at the Battle of Gaines mill, effectively ending Union Gen. McClellans campaign, and resulting in regimental casualties of 37 killed and 106 wounded.

    Two months later, the regiment distinguished itself again at the Second battle of Bull run also known as Battle of Second Manassas where members captured two stands of colors those of the 24th and 10th New York regiments, and where, along with the Texas Brigade, they spearheaded General Longstreet's assault on Union General John Popes left, nearly wiping out the 5th New York Zouaves and captured a battery of four guns. Regimental casualties were 37 dead and 87 wounded.

    Three weeks later, September 1862, the 18th GA fought at the Battle of Antietam losing 14 killed and 30 wounded.
