36th Regiment, Georgia Infantry (Broyles') (Confederate)

Brief History
Organized at Dalton, Georgia, during the winter of 1861-1862 with many officers and men from the Dalton area.

Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
