    Default North Georgia/Florida unit

    Hello!

    I am looking for contact info for any Confederate Infantry unit from Tallahassee (if I spelled that wrong, I appologise. I am from Wisconsin!) or North Georgia. I have a friend who is overseas with me who would love to join a Confederate unit. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

    Co. D, 2nd Florida (the Leon Rifles) is based out of Tallahassee. They are a good high-end mainstream company in the Florida Battalion, Department of the Gulf. Just do a Google search for their website or they are linked in the Florida Battalion of Infantry website as well. As for North Georgia, that area has plenty of good CS units, whether progressive or mainstream, but I'll let my Georgia compatriots pipe in on them.

    Default Georgia Units

    Our unit, the 42nd Georgia, draws from Atlanta and the surrounding metropolitan area. Our website is www.42ndgeorgia.com. You can also check out the Georgia Volunteer Battalion, which is a listing of all affiliated units across the state, for one that may be closer to your friend's location if he is not in Atlanta. www.gavolbn.org

    The Leon Rifles are a good group of fellas from the Tallahassee area. They represent the 2nd Florida, Company D. The primary impression is ANV. Here's the link to the Leon Rifles website:
