1st Consolidated Regiment, Arkansas Infantry In March 1865, the severely depleted regiments below were consolidated with the remnants of other Arkansas regiments to form the 1st Arkansas Consolidated Infantry. The 2nd Arkansas Infantry was organized at Helena, Arkansas, in June 1861, largely through the efforts of Thomas Carmichael Hindman, who had recently resigned from the United States Congress following the secession of Arkansas from the Union. Initially organized with ten companies from eastern and central Arkansas, the 2nd Arkansas Infantry was briefly expanded to a 22-company organization called the “Hindman Legion” – consisting of the 2nd Regiment Arkansas Infantry, 1st (Marmaduke’s) Battalion Arkansas Infantry, 6th (Phifer’s) Battalion Arkansas Cavalry, and the Warren Light Artillery (Swett’s Mississippi Battery). The Legion was subsequently broken up, and the component units resumed their original organization. As a result of losses in the Battle of Shiloh (April 6-7, 1862), Companies C and E were disbanded and consolidated with other companies. A new Company C was recruited as Marianna, and a new Company E was formed from members of the 11th Arkansas Infantry who had escaped capture at the fall of Island No. 10. The 2nd Arkansas Infantry was part of Cleburne’s Division in the Confederate Army of Tennessee for much of the war.

2nd Regiment, Arkansas Volunteers


 * "Units of the Confederate States Army" by Joseph H. Crute, Jr. contains no history for this unit.
 * As detailed in the history of the 1st Arkansas Regiment, 30-Day Volunteers, a second regiment of 30-day volunteers began organizing at Camp Borland, near Pocahontas, Arkansas, in mid-November 1861, in response to the appeal of Col. Solon Borland for volunteers to defend Pitman’s Ferry, “the gateway to Arkansas,” from a possible Yankee attack. This regiment does not appear to have completed its organization. Only the records of the four companies of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment are extant. Four companies from northeast Arkansas constituted the 1st Battalion, 2nd Regiment: Capt. John H. Miers’ company from Jackson County, Capt. W. T. High’s company (“High’s Repellers”) from Prairie and present-day Lonoke counties, Capt. James R. Morris’ company from Independence and present-day Cleburne counties, and Capt. Thomas G. Shinpock’s company from present-day Woodruff County. The companies enlisted for 30-days of emergency service on November 18, and were discharged on December 18, 1861. The men of Companies A, B and C returned to their respective homes after being discharged. The men of Company D, however, stayed on to enlist in Confederate service for one year and became Company K of McCarver’s 14th Arkansas Infantry. No colonel or lieutenant-colonel was ever assigned to the 2nd Regiment. The only field-grade officer mentioned in the record is a Major Allen, commanding the 1st Battalion, 2nd Regiment. We have been unable to identify this officer. Co. A—Jackson County. Co. B—Prairie and Lonoke Counties. Co. C—Independence and Cleburne Counties. Co. D—Woodruff County. Source: EDWARD G.

Phifer) at Corinth, Mississippi, to form the Second Arkansas Cavalry Regiment. The companies of the former Second Battalion became Companies D-E-F-G-H of the Second Regiment (see the individual company rosters for details). On August 18, 1862, the chronically-understrength Company F (formerly Co. E, Second Battalion) was consolidated into Company E (formerly C, Second Battalion), and Companies G and H were redesignated as Companies F and G, respectively. Source: EDWARD G. GERDES.

The Crittenden Rangers were organized in Crittenden County, Arkansas, on April 13, 1861. On that day, the ladies of Crittenden County presented a flag to the new company in a ceremony at Hopefield. The Memphis Daily Appeal ran this article on April 17, 1861: “MILITARY COMPANY—The citizens of Crittenden County, Arkansas, have raised a fine company, which they have styled the Crittenden Rangers. Officers are our late fellow-citizen R. T. Redman, Captain; T. B. Rogers, 1st Lieutenant; J. D. Rives, 2d Lieutenant; J. G. Berry, 3d Lieutenant. Captain Redman was in the city yesterday for the purpose of purchasing saddles and horse equipments for the company. The county court a week ago voted two thousand dollars toward the equipment of the rangers, the State finds them arms, and the citizens of the county have undertaken to provide them with pistols.” By June 3, 1861, when the company enrolled in State service, new officers were elected, and the Rangers rode to Pocahontas, where they joined the garrison commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Solon Borland. Shortly afterwards, the Governor of Arkansas offered the services of the Arkansas State Troops to the Confederate States. The soldiers were given the option of enlisting in Confederate service for a period of twelve months, or taking a discharge. About half the Rangers took the discharge. The rest of the Crittenden Rangers enlisted in Confederate service on July 29, 1861, and were assigned as Company C, 6th Battalion Arkansas Cavalry, CSA. This battalion was later expanded to a full regiment, the 2nd Arkansas Cavalry. The following roster is taken from the June 3, 1861, muster roll of the Crittenden Rangers, on the day they enlisted in State service at Marion, Arkansas. Source : EDWARD G.

 * 5th Cavalry Regiment was organized during the early spring of 1863. Later it was reorganized as Morgan's Arkansas Cavalry Regiment.

Joseph H. Crute, Jr, CONFEDERATE ARKANSAS TROOPS, "Units of the Confederate States Army", http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/regiments.cfm (accessed October 8, 2010). The Desha Rangers was an independent cavalry troop, organized by Captain William S. Malcomb in rural Desha county, Arkansas, December 13, 1862. The Rangers continued to recruit (and conscript) heavily in Desha and Arkansas counties throughout the first half of 1863. A large number of the Rangers had previously served in the Desha County Militia in late 1861. Though the Desha Rangers were enlisted as an independent company, they were often temporarily attached to various cavalry regiments, depending upon the needs of the army. For a time they were attached to the 5th Arkansas Cavalry Regiment as Company M; and later were attached to Carlton’s Arkansas Cavalry Regiment as Company H. The records of the Trans-Mississippi Army are very sketchy from late 1864 to the surrender in 1865; therefore it is difficult to track the activities of the Desha Rangers with any degree of certainty during this period. It appears that they ended the war still attached to Carlton’s Cavalry Regiment. Source: EDWARD G.

The Crittenden Rangers were organized in Crittenden County, Arkansas, on April 13, 1861. On that day, the ladies of Crittenden County presented a flag to the new company in a ceremony at Hopefield. The Memphis Daily Appeal ran this article on April 17, 1861: “MILITARY COMPANY—The citizens of Crittenden County, Arkansas, have raised a fine company, which they have styled the Crittenden Rangers. Officers are our late fellow-citizen R. T. Redman, Captain; T. B. Rogers, 1st Lieutenant; J. D. Rives, 2d Lieutenant; J. G. Berry, 3d Lieutenant. Captain Redman was in the city yesterday for the purpose of purchasing saddles and horse equipments for the company. The county court a week ago voted two thousand dollars toward the equipment of the rangers, the State finds them arms, and the citizens of the county have undertaken to provide them with pistols.” By June 3, 1861, when the company enrolled in State service, new officers were elected, and the Rangers rode to Pocahontas, where they joined the garrison commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Solon Borland. Shortly afterwards, the Governor of Arkansas offered the services of the Arkansas State Troops to the Confederate States. The soldiers were given the option of enlisting in Confederate service for a period of twelve months, or taking a discharge. About half the Rangers took the discharge. The rest of the Crittenden Rangers enlisted in Confederate service on July 29, 1861, and were assigned as Company C, 6th Battalion Arkansas Cavalry, CSA. This battalion was later expanded to a full regiment, the 2nd Arkansas Cavalry. The following roster is taken from the June 3, 1861, muster roll of the Crittenden Rangers, on the day they enlisted in State service at Marion, Arkansas. Source : EDWARD G.

The Desha Rangers was an independent cavalry troop, organized by Captain William S. Malcomb in rural Desha county, Arkansas, December 13, 1862. The Rangers continued to recruit (and conscript) heavily in Desha and Arkansas counties throughout the first half of 1863. A large number of the Rangers had previously served in the Desha County Militia in late 1861. Though the Desha Rangers were enlisted as an independent company, they were often temporarily attached to various cavalry regiments, depending upon the needs of the army. For a time they were attached to the 5th Arkansas Cavalry Regiment as Company M; and later were attached to Carlton’s Arkansas Cavalry Regiment as Company H. The records of the Trans-Mississippi Army are very sketchy from late 1864 to the surrender in 1865; therefore it is difficult to track the activities of the Desha Rangers with any degree of certainty during this period. It appears that they ended the war still attached to Carlton’s Cavalry Regiment. Source: EDWARD G.
