Muster Roll of Company E
39th Regiment
Georgia Volunteer Infantry
Army of Tennessee
C.S.A.
Walker County, Georgia
"Walker Light Guards"


We first camped at Big Shanty, GA on the W. & A. Road.  Our first
service was in East Tennessee in the spring and early summer of 
1862.  In the latter part of the summer and fall of 1862, we made
the Kentucky campaign under General E. Kirby Smith.  We then 
crossed the Cumberland Mountains at the Cumberland Gap back into
East Tennessee.  From there we were ordered to middle Tennessee
and to Murfreesboro.  From there our Division was ordered, about
the 20th of December 1862, to Vicksburg, Mississippi.  Made the
Mississippi campaign, fought through the battle of Baker's Creek,
Miss. on May 16, 1863; fell back into Vicksburg the next day; went 
through a forty-eight days' siege, and surrendered on the 4th day 
of July 1863, and were paroled.  There was more or less fighting
every day during the siege.  We were exchanged about September
1863.  Our Division was ordered to Sweetwater and Loudon in East
Tennessee.  Remained until General Longstreet left Bragg's army
at Missionary Ridge and relieved us.  We then returned to Missionary
Ridge and Lookout Mountain.

Camped on Lookout Mountain until November 23rd, then we were 
ordered off the mountain and to Missionary Ridge.  We took our
position on the extreme right of line and on the 25th of November
we fought the battle of Missionary Ridge.  We lost the Ridge and
fell back to Dalton, Ga., where we took up winter quarters and
remained there until about the 7th or 8th of May 1864.  Sherman
appeared in our front and flanked us out of our position.  We fell
back to Ressaca, fought the battle of Resaca, Ga. the 14th and
15th of May.  We had more or less fighting to do every day during
that campaign from Dalton to Atlanta and Jonesboro, and from May
7th or 8th until September 1st.

Among the battles fought during the campaign were Resaca, New Hope
Church, Kennesaw Mountain, Peachtree Creek, Atlanta and Jonesboro.
There were many skirmishes, and picket fighting besides battles
mentioned above.
