War-date Confederate Document Signed “R.M. McClellan” Capt. & AQM, Acting Q.M. Butler’s Brigade, 1pp. oblong octavo, October 22, 1863, being a quartermaster invoice for “Cobb’s Geo. Legion.” Fine condition. Cobb's Legion (also known as the Georgia Legion) was an American Civil War unit that was raised on the Confederate side from the State of Georgia by Thomas Reade Rootes Cobb during the summer of 1861. A "legion" consisted of a single integrated command, with individual components from the infantry, cavalry, and artillery. When it was originally raised, the Georgia Legion comprised seven infantry companies, four cavalry troops, and a single battery. The concept of a multiple-branch unit was fine in theory, but never was a practical application for Civil War armies and, early in the war, the individual elements were assigned to other organizations.
