The Twenty-Fourth Georgia Infantry was organized in late June and early July, 1861. The unit was officially mustered into Confederate service on August 24, 1861. Soon after being mustered into Confederate service the regiment was moved to Lynchburg, Virginia. Within a week of arriving there, however, it was ordered to Goldsborough, North Carolina. There it joined the Department of North Carolina. The unit remained there until early in 1862. After serving in the Department of North Carolina, the unit moved to Virginia where it was brigaded under Generals H. Cobb, T. R. R. Cobb, Wofford, and DuBose. It fought in the difficult campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Days' Battles to Gettysburg, then moved to Georgia with Longstreet. The 24th was not engaged at Chickamauga, but did see action in the Knoxville Campaign. Returning to Virginia, Col. McMillan resigned on January 9, 1864. Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Columbus Sanders assumed command and continued until his capture at Saylor's Creek.
