24th Regiment, Arkansas Infantry - Confederate

24th Infantry Regiment was organized during the spring of 1862. September, 1863 the regiment was consolidated with the 19th (Dawson's) Regiment and in December with the 2nd and 15th (Cleburne's-Polk's-Josey's) Regiments. At the Battle of Atlanta only the 2nd and 24th were united, and this command sustained 130 casualties. Very few surrendered in April, 1865. Joseph H.
