Survivors of the Rock City Guards after the war.

The Rock City Guards were a militia battalion raised in Nashville, Tennessee in 1860 in anticipation of the American Civil War. 327 men joined the organization; among them were George Maney, who served as captain;[1] lawyer Thomas H. Malone, who served as lieutenant; and Charles Todd Quintard, who served as chaplain.[2] In May 1861 the unit, now consisting of three companies, was mustered into Confederate service as part of the 1st Tennessee Infantry Regiment; George Maney becoming Colonel. The regiment served during the whole American Civil War.[2]

A battle flag used by the Rock City Guards is at the Tennessee State Museum.[2]
