Excerpt from History of the Doles-Cook Brigade: Army of Northern Virginia, C. S. A., Containing Rolls of Each Company of the Fourth, Twelfth, Twenty-First and Forty-Fourth Georgia Regiments, With a Short Sketch of the Services of Each Member, and a Complete History of Each Regiment, by One of Its Own M The records of file in the office of adjutant-general of Georgia copied from papers of file in the War Department at Washington, D. C., are so incomplete and inaccurate as to the number of enlisted men, promotions, discharges, transfers, wounds, deaths, etc., that he had to rely to a large extent upon members of the various companies of each regiment for reliable information. It is probable, therefore, that some errors may exist, but in the main it is correct. No brigade in the Confederate army did more service, or suffered more hardships, and none can boast of a prouder or more brilliant record than that made by the doles-cook Brigade. Its regiments were amongst the first to take arms in defense of the South, and did not lay them down until General Robert E. Lee surrendered the army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court-house, Virginia, on the 9th day of April, 1865. On that fatal day the remnant of the Doles Cook Brigade followed the Stars and Bars as gallantly, fought as bravely, and drove the enemy as steadily as they had done in the past. Not until then did they cease to bear arms in defense of the South. Read the history of all the armies of any nation, and you will not find a single one to compare to that of the Confederate army. They were intelligent, brave, fearless and determined, but kind and gentle manly in their bearings, respectful to their officers and obedient to orders. They did not fight for conquest or glory, but simply for the protection of their homes and the independence of the South.
