When he was younger than 17, Andrew Jackson Little enlisted, July 1, 1864, at Athens, Georgia, as a private in Cook's Regiment, under the command of Major Cook. He was in the front ranks in four battles, namely: at macon; Savannah, with the Confederates when forced back or be captured by General Sherman on his famous march to the sea; and the last stand was at Grahamville, South Carolina. During this battle, he and some of the other boys were not tall enough to shoot over the parapet. But they arranged that one would get down on his hands and knees, making a bench on which another would stand, deliver his fire, and then change places with his friend so that he too might get a shot at the enemy.
