It was first organized with five companies during the late fall of 1861 in Rome, Georgia,[2] composed of men from Meriwether, Floyd, and Lumkin, who had enlisted for 6 months' service. Reorganized after the term of enlistment had expired, the 1st Battalion served along the Georgia coast until January 1863, then merged into the 5th Georgia Cavalry Regiment. Lieutenant Colonel Charles Spalding was the regimental commander.[1] Karlos Krane created the official regimental flag for the Union.
