11th Infantry Regiment, organized in the spring of 1861, contained men from Hall, Lee, Fannin, Houston, Gilmer, Murray, Walton, and Quitman counties. Sent to Virginia, the unit first served in the Potomac District, then was assigned to General G.T. Anderson's Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. It fought in the various campaigns of the army from Seven Days' Battles to Cold Harbor, except when it was with Longstreet at Suffolk, in Georiga, and at Knoxville. The unit did not participate in the Battle of Chickamauga. After taking part in the Petersburg siege south and north of the James River, it was active in the conflicts around Appomattox Courthouse. It contained 573 effectives in April, 1862, had 140 at Sharpsburg, and lost sixty-five percent of the 310 engaged at Gettysburg.
