War to which the current <a href="/wiki/Arkansas_National_Guard" title="Arkansas National Guard">Arkansas National Guard</a> has a connection include the Arkansas State Militia, Home Guard, and State Troop regiments raised by the State of <a href="/wiki/Arkansas" title="Arkansas">Arkansas</a>. Like most of the United States, Arkansas had an organized militia system before the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a>. State law required military service of most male inhabitants of a certain age. Following the <a href="/wiki/War_with_Mexico" class="mw-redirect" title="War with Mexico">War with Mexico</a>, the Arkansas militia experienced a decline, but as sectional frictions between the north and south began to build in the late 1850s the militia experienced a revival. By 1860 the state's militia consisted of 62 regiments divided into eight <a href="/wiki/Brigade" title="Brigade">brigades</a>, which comprised an eastern <a href="/wiki/Division_(military)" title="Division (military)">division</a> and a western division. New regiments were added as the militia organization developed. Additionally, many counties and cities raised uniformed volunteer companies, which drilled more often and were better equipped than the un-uniformed militia. These volunteer companies were instrumental in the seizure of federal installations at <a href="/wiki/Little_Rock" class="mw-redirect" title="Little Rock">Little Rock</a> and <a href="/wiki/Fort_Smith,_Arkansas" title="Fort Smith, Arkansas">Fort Smith</a>, beginning in February 1861. Once Arkansas left the Union in May 1861, the existing volunteer militia companies were among the first mustered into state service and be formed into new volunteer infantry regiments, also referred to as "State Troops". These new regiments comprised the Provisional Army of Arkansas. In July 1861 and agreement was reached to transfer the existing state forces into the Confederate army. The Second Division of the Army of Arkansas was transferred to the Confederate Army under the command of General William E. Hardee, but before the First Division of the Army of Arkansas could be transferred, it participated in the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Wilson%27s_Creek" title="Battle of Wilson's Creek">Battle of Wilson's Creek</a> near <a href="/wiki/Springfield,_Missouri" title="Springfield, Missouri">Springfield, Missouri</a>, in August 1861. Following the battle of Wilson's Creek, the First Division voted to disband rather than enter Confederate Service. In November 1861, Colonel Solon S. Borland, commanding Confederate forces at Pittman's Ferry received information regarding an imminent invasion of Northeast Arkansas and issued an immediate call for Militia forces to re-enforce his position. The State Military Board authorized the activation of Eighth Brigade of Militia, and one company from the militia regiments of Prairie, Monroe, Poinsett, Saint Francis, and Craighead counties. The units that responded to this call were formed into three regiments of 30 Day Volunteers. Some of these companies later enrolled in regular Confederate service. In the spring of 1862 a Union invasion of <a href="/wiki/Northwest_Arkansas" title="Northwest Arkansas">Northwest Arkansas</a> necessitated an activation of parts of the state militia. In February 1862, General McCulloch issued a proclamation from Fayetteville requesting that "every man turn out and form companies, and rally to meet the advancing enemy". Brigadier General N. B. Burrow, commander of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Division, Arkansas State Militia reacted by activating his entire brigade consisting of six regiments for approximately three weeks. Later in the Summer of 1862, when Major General Hindman assumed command of the <a href="/wiki/Trans-Mississippi_Department" title="Trans-Mississippi Department">Department of the Trans-Mississippi</a>, the militia regiments were required to provide volunteers for new Confederate regiments or face conscription. After the fall of Little Rock to Union forces in September 1863, Governor Harris Flanagin ordered out the militia regiments of Clark, Hempstead, Sevier, Pike, Polk, Montgomery, La Fayette, Ouachita, Union, and Columbia counties and directed them to supply mounted companies for new regiments of State Troops. This recruiting method succeeded in supplying several new mounted companies which participated in resisting Union General Steele's <a href="/wiki/Camden_Expedition" title="Camden Expedition">Camden Expedition</a> in the spring of 1864. Sporadic recruiting of new volunteer companies from the Militia continued until March 1865. The Arkansas Secession Convention directed each county to organize a Home Guard organization, which was intended to include old men and boys who were otherwise disqualified from active service. The Home Guard were later commissioned to begin <a href="/wiki/Guerrilla" class="mw-redirect" title="Guerrilla">guerrilla</a> operations against occupying Union forces. Once Union forces secured the state capitol in 1863, the new loyal state government immediately began raising new loyal militia forces in an attempt to combat bands of guerrillas and <a href="/wiki/Bushwhacker" title="Bushwhacker">bushwhackers</a> operating behind Union lines. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Marion_County_War">The Marion County War</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Arkansas_Militia_in_the_Civil_War&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: The Marion County War">edit</a>]</div> Two famous Arkansas veterans of the <a href="/wiki/Mexican%E2%80%93American_War" title="Mexican–American War">War with Mexico</a> would find themselves deeply involved in the first use of the Arkansas Militia following the War with Mexico. Allen Wood, who had raised a volunteer company in Arkansas which became part of the 12th United States Infantry Regiment during the war with Mexico, was appointed as Adjutant General in 1849.<a href="#cite_note-arkansas-1">[1]</a> On September 16, 1848, Governor <a href="/wiki/John_S._Roane" class="mw-redirect" title="John S.

The Tutts, of the <a href="/wiki/Whig_Party_(United_States)" title="Whig Party (United States)">Whig Party</a> and the Everetts, of the <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democratic Party</a> had a long running feud which erupted into bloodshed in June 1849. It was said that virtually every man in the county had taken sides in the affair.<a href="#cite_note-The_Tutt-Everett_War_of_Marion_County-3">[3]</a> General Wood raised two militia companies in Carroll County, one commanded by Captain William C. Mitchell, the other by Captain Tilford Denton to assist with the capture of members of the Everetts clan and to guard the jail. General Wood relieved Sheriff Jesse Mooney, who was thought to be a member of the Everett faction and took over the county jail in Yellville.<a href="#cite_note-The_Tutt,_King,_And_Everett_War-4">[4]</a> The force was eventually reduced to one company of 75 men who remained in the county from September 1849 through December 1849.<a href="#cite_note-sherwood-5">[5]</a> Almost as soon as General Wood dismissed his militia companies, members of the Everett clan broke the prisoners out of jail. General Wood resigned the office of Adjutant General in a letter to the Governor dated July 28, 1851.<a href="#cite_note-foundation-6">[6]</a> On December 21, 1850, the Arkansas Legislature finally passed an act to pay for the militia called into service by General Wool.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1995-7">[7]</a> It is likely that the experience of calling out the militia for the Marion County War lead to the passage in 1852 of a law styled "an Act to provide for the organization of the Militia when called to suppress insurrections. This law allowed the county sheriff to order elections for offices of companies activated for this purpose.<a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1995-7">[7]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Antebellum_militia_on_the_eve_of_conflict">Antebellum militia on the eve of conflict</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Arkansas_Militia_in_the_Civil_War&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Antebellum militia on the eve of conflict">edit</a>]</div> With the conclusion of the <a href="/wiki/Mexican%E2%80%93American_War" title="Mexican–American War">Mexican–American War</a>, the Arkansas militia fell into a state of disorganization. Without a threat from Mexico or the Indians, it seemed Arkansans needed protection from no one. Election of militia officers in most counties had basically stopped by 1849.<a href="#cite_note-Arkansas_Military_Department_Records_1862-8">[8]</a> Throughout much of the 1850s the Arkansas militia was practically dead; company and regimental musters were held infrequently, and officers stopped performing their duties. Governor Elias Conway, in an address to the state legislature dated November 7, 1854, stated that the state militia had not filed a single annual status report with the War Department since 1843.<a href="#cite_note-Message_of_Elias_N._Conway,_Governor_of_Arkansas,_to_both_houses_of_the_Legislature-9">[9]</a> Without these reports, the militia did not receive its quota of Federal arms and equipment.

Conway">Elias N. Conway</a>, elected governor in 1854, came from a prominent family of Arkansas politicians, some of whom had served in the militia during its earlier and more active years. The condition of the Arkansas Militia when Governor Conway began his revival may best be summarized by a letter to the Governor from Col. Henry Rieff, Commander of the 20th Regiment Arkansas Militia dated January 3, 1860: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">... the militia of this regiment (20th) have not done any duty for several years and I do not now know who are officers and who are not, as fully as I could desire. Some have died, others no doubt removed from the county, but I am now endeavoring to investigate this matter and ascertain who are officers and order election to fill vacancies. In your letter you mention Bracken Lewis as Major but H.E. Moulden was Major but is now dead. He was Major in the 20th instead of the 32nd as stated in your letter. Lt.Col. M.S. Gregg is still living. In the 1st Battalion Maj. Moulden as before stated deceased. As you kindly offered to give me a list of the officers of Regt. 20, I will be glad to have it as it will aid me in ascertaining the officers names. In answer to your letter relative to the 32nd Regt., I will say that Col. Denton is deceased. Also I think Lt.Col. Coulter has removed from the county and that Maj. Colwell who was elected in said regiment is deceased. Consequently the offices are all vacant. I will see General Neal as suggested who no doubt will order elections to fill the offices ... I shall proceed at once to have this regiment (20th) officered and enrolled and I think the times and signs of the times favor it, ...<a href="#cite_note-Flashback_1955-11">[11]</a> </blockquote> Governor Conway pushed the legislature to revise the militia laws and successfully sparked a renewed interest in the militia. He commissioned a printing of a digest of the militia laws of Arkansas in 1860.<a href="#cite_note-Militia_Law_of_the_State_of_Arkansas,_Published_by_direction_of_the_Commander_in_Chief_of_the_Army_of_the_State_of_Arkansas_and_the_Militia_thereof-12">[12]</a> A review of the election returns for militia officers in each county in 1860 and the spring of 1861 provide some indication of the success of Governor Conway's attempt to revitalize the organization of the state militia.<a href="#cite_note-commission-13">[13]</a> The militia was organized into two divisions of four brigades each. Each county supplied at least one regiment, and companies were normally organized in each township.

The militiamen were required to provide their own weapons and equipment and were to muster four times annually, including two company drills, one battalion muster, and one regimental muster. No provision was made for uniforms for the private militiamen, while officers were required to acquire and wear the uniform of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">United States Army</a>.<a href="#cite_note-google70-118">[118]</a> Additionally, section 57 of the act allowed each county to raise up to four Volunteer Companies. These Volunteer Companies were to be either infantry, riflemen, cavalry, or artillery. While the Volunteer Companies were to be separate from the regular militia units, they remained under the supervision and authority of the local militia regimental commander, who was required to set the time and place of the election of officers for volunteer companies and certify their election to the governor.<a href="#cite_note-google71-119">[119]</a> Volunteer Companies were required to drill at least once per month (although the Pulaski Artillery, a Volunteer Artillery Company organized in Little Rock in December 1860, scheduled drill three times a week).<a href="#cite_note-couchgenweb72-120">[120]</a> Volunteer Companies were allowed to select and acquire their own uniforms and their officers were authorized to wear the uniform of the company.<a href="#cite_note-confederate-121">[121]</a> While the standard militia units were organized into lettered companies organized roughly along township boundaries, Volunteer Companies usually adopted colorful names to set them apart. Membership in the Volunteer Companies was encouraged by the provision that once a militiaman had completed five years service in a Volunteer Company, he was exempted from further militia service.<a href="#cite_note-google73-122">[122]</a> In a letter "To The Militiamen Of The State Of Arkansas" dated August 27, 1860, Governor Conway exhorted the raising of additional volunteer companies:<a href="#cite_note-google74-123">[123]</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">All the volunteer companies authorized by law in every county in the state ought to be speedily and thoroughly organized and disciplined, and armed and equipped in the best manner as soon as possible ... It devolves upon each colonel commandant, not only to organize his regiment, but also to have formed within the bounds of his regiment, as many volunteer companies, independent of his regiment, as the law requires, and the number of militiamen will justify.</blockquote> He commented that if all the volunteer companies authorized by the act were to be raised, the state would have a force of 22,000 volunteers. He explained that the general assembly had yet to pass a law allowing the state to provide arms for all the volunteer companies, and he encouraged the counties to consider taxing themselves in order to raise the funds.<a href="#cite_note-google75-124">[124]</a> Although several Volunteer Companies were already in existence at various locations around the state, the Governor's call sparked a wave of formations. State newspapers in the summer and fall of 1860 have several stories of volunteer companies being formed, drilling, and participating in the regular muster of the militia regiments. The leaders of these volunteer companies began to search for uniforms and equipment, often requesting them through militia channels to the Governor, but then turning to private sources when the State Government was unable to help. The state legislature responded to the need for arms and equipment in January 1861 by appropriating $100,000 for the arming and equipping of the militia being formed into volunteer companies. Act Number 192, which was approved on January 21, 1861, appropriated money "for the purpose of arming the volunteer militia of this state, when formed into volunteer military companies ..."<a href="#cite_note-Arkansas_1861,_page_368-125">[125]</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">Section 2.

The readiness of the Militia organizations was compared to that of the Volunteer Companies springing up around the state when the <a href="/wiki/Crawford_County,_Arkansas" title="Crawford County, Arkansas">Crawford County</a> Militia, the 5th Regiment Arkansas Militia, conducted its annual muster and drill on February 23, 1861, at <a href="/wiki/Van_Buren,_Arkansas" title="Van Buren, Arkansas">Van Buren</a>. They were joined on this occasion by two companies of volunteers, the Frontier Guards (led by Captain Hugh Thomas Brown) and the Independent Light Horse Guards (under Captain Powhatan Perkins).<a href="#cite_note-couchgenweb76-126">[126]</a> The two independent companies received rave reviews for their drill, but the performance of the 5th Militia Regiment provoked the following report from the Van Buren Press: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">The special parade of this Regiment, by order of the Officers in command, took place in this City on Saturday last. In connection therewith, the Rifle Company, Capt. Brown, and Horse Company, Capt. Perkins, paraded, making a fine display—and in fact all the 'military' on the ground was composed of these two independent companies. A more decided burlesque on military parade could not be had, than the muster on Saturday. If any good was derived by bringing such a body of men together, for 'inspection' and 'drill,' we were not able to discover it—and we trust it will be at least a year, before another 'occasion' occurs for preparation to defend our rights and liberties against northern aggression.<a href="#cite_note-regiment-127">[127]</a></blockquote> A more favorable account comes from a report on the September 1860 muster of Pulaski County's 13th Militia Regiment: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">The regiment, composed of ten companies, numbering about a thousand men, was drawn up in line of battle facing to the west ... The regiment having been reviewed in form, changed direction to the right, and now in its turn, while the reviewing officers took position on the former front, marched before them by companies, in the following order: Pulaski Lancers, Lieut. Morrison, commanding cavalry, with lances, pennants and handsome uniforms of blue and red, well drilled, and presenting a very gallant appearance; 1st comp. the Capital Guards, Capt. Peay, drilled like veterans of the 'Old Guard', and dressed in a uniform of blue and gold, never yet surpassed in taste and neatness; 2d company, exceeding well drilled and fine looking, Capt. Stillwell; 3d company, composed of gallant looking and intelligent men, Lieut. Griffith, commanding; 4th company, the elite of the regiment, Sergeant Lee of the 'Guards', commanding; 5th company presenting a most soldierly appearance, Capt. Johnson; 6th company, with the step and front of courage and intelligence, Capt. Bushnell; 7th company brave looking, erect and well-drilled, Capt. Vance; 8th company looking as if they might have seen service, and would like to see it again, Capt. Marshall; 9th company who we will venture to say, are all good riflemen, and familiar with the smell of gun powder, Capt. Wellman.<a href="#cite_note-OLD-LINE_DEMOCRAT_1860,_p._3-128">[128]</a></blockquote> Following the parade of the 13th Regiment, Brigadier General Holt and the regimental officers gathered in front of Governor Conway's home and heard a speech in which the governor complimented them "upon the revival, at a critical time, of the military spirit which once animated the people, but seemed long to have been dead."<a href="#cite_note-OLD-LINE_DEMOCRAT_1860,_p._3-128">[128]</a> In October an article appeared in the same paper announcing a drill contest to be conducted as a part of a Fair scheduled for November 8–9, 1860, on the grounds of St John's College in Little Rock.

The 13th Militia Regiment of <a href="/wiki/Pulaski_County,_Arkansas" title="Pulaski County, Arkansas">Pulaski County</a> was activated and Brigadier General Holt, the local militia brigade commander, was placed in command. With militia forces now surrounding the arsenal grounds, Governor Rector dispatched General Thomas D.

His speech closed with a plea for restoration of the bonds of union.<a href="#cite_note-inaugural105-218">[218]</a> The next day, the Arkansas Secession Convention convened in the State House in Little Rock. David Walker, who opposed secession, was elected president. The convention continued in session for two and a half weeks. Feeling ran high and many fiery speeches were made, but it soon became evident that a majority of the members did not think that the situation at that time called for secession. The convention voted down a resolution condemning Lincoln's inaugural address, and defeated a conditional ordinance of secession. The opinion seemed to prevail that Arkansas should secede only if the Federal government made war on the Confederate States. Still hoping for a compromise settlement that would avoid war, the delegates agreed to go home until after the people had voted on the secession question at a special election to be held in August.<a href="#cite_note-confederate106-219">[219]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Arkansas_leaves_the_Union">Arkansas leaves the Union</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Arkansas_Militia_in_the_Civil_War&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Arkansas leaves the Union">edit</a>]</div> <a href="/wiki/Fort_Monroe" title="Fort Monroe">Fort Monroe</a> in Virginia, <a href="/wiki/Fort_Sumter" title="Fort Sumter">Fort Sumter</a> in Charleston, South Carolina, and <a href="/wiki/Fort_Pickens" title="Fort Pickens">Fort Pickens</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fort_Jefferson,_Florida" class="mw-redirect" title="Fort Jefferson, Florida">Fort Jefferson</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Fort_Zachary_Taylor" title="Fort Zachary Taylor">Fort Taylor</a>, in Florida, were the remaining Union-held forts in the Confederacy, and Lincoln was determined to hold them all.

The ordinance required each regiment to consist of not less than six companies and not more than 10. Each company was to consist of not less than 64 men and not more than 96 men and four officers. The officers were to be elected by the men of the regiment. $2 million was appropriated to fund the Board.<a href="#cite_note-confederate113-232">[232]</a> The Convention elected three of its members as commanders of the new army: Major General <a href="/w/index.php?title=James_Yell&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="James Yell (page does not exist)">James Yell</a> of Jefferson County (overall commander) <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_Bartlett_Pearce" title="Nicholas Bartlett Pearce">Nicholas Bartlett Pearce</a>, a graduate of <a href="/wiki/United_States_Military_Academy" title="United States Military Academy">West Point</a> and resident of <a href="/wiki/Benton_County,_Arkansas" title="Benton County, Arkansas">Benton County</a> (commander of the First Division), and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Thomas_H._Bradley&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Thomas H. Bradley (page does not exist)">Thomas H. Bradley</a> of <a href="/wiki/Crittenden_County,_Arkansas" title="Crittenden County, Arkansas">Crittenden County</a> (commander of the Second Division). Historian Leo Huff has referred to these commanders as "three political generals"; however, each had some connection to the militia. Major General Yell had served as the commander of the 2nd Division of the Arkansas Militia, Brigadier General Pearce had served as the Colonel of the Benton County Militia Regiment,<a href="#cite_note-encyclopediaofarkansas-233">[233]</a> and Brigadier General Thomas H. Bradley had previously served as a major general in the Tennessee Militia.<a href="#cite_note-www-234">[234]</a> General Pearce, who had graduated from West Point, had the most military training of the three generals. But all three of these men did harm to the war effort by opposing the transfer of Arkansas troops to a unified Confederate command. Eventually, all three men were either relieved of their command or transferred to other activities.<a href="#cite_note-confederate114-235">[235]</a> The Secession Convention enacted an ordinance on May 30, 1861, that called upon all the counties in the State to appoint a "home guard of minute men" for local defense, until regular military regiments could be raised and deployed. These Home Guard units were made up of old men and boys who were not eligible for normal military service. Like the Militia, the Home Guard units were organized at the county level, with companies being supplied by each township. Originally these units were intended to be separate from the state militia. Most counties presumably complied with the law, but records of only a few of these 1861 home guard organizations can now be found. The <a href="/wiki/Independence_County,_Arkansas" title="Independence County, Arkansas">Independence County</a> Home Guard was established in accordance with this new ordinance. The Independence County Court, in special session, established and made appointments to the local home guard organization on June 29, 1861. Subsequent appointments were made in July, October, and November 1861. About 220 men were appointed in all the townships of the county. Most of them were property owners, many quite prominent and wealthy, and, as far as can be determined, all were over the conscript age. Some were quite elderly. Despite their age, wealth, and social position, many later served in regular Confederate units in the latter part of the war, especially in Dobbin's and Morgan's cavalry regiments. John Farrell Allen was appointed General Commander of the Independence County Home Guard.<a href="#cite_note-couchgenweb115-236">[236]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Mobilizing_forces">Mobilizing forces</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Arkansas_Militia_in_the_Civil_War&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Mobilizing forces">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Patrick_Cleburne.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Patrick_Cleburne.jpg/220px-Patrick_Cleburne.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="278" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Patrick_Cleburne.jpg/330px-Patrick_Cleburne.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Patrick_Cleburne.jpg/440px-Patrick_Cleburne.jpg 2x" data-file-width="739" data-file-height="935" /></a><figcaption>Col. Patrick Cleburne, Commander, 1st Arkansas Infantry, State Troops, a.k.a. 15th Arkansas Volunteer Infantry, Confederate States Army</figcaption></figure> Militia leaders were hopeful that their existing formations would be mobilized and utilized to defend the state. Brigadier General Jett, commanding the 1st Brigade, Arkansas Militia even wrote directly to Confederate President <a href="/wiki/Jefferson_Davis" title="Jefferson Davis">Jefferson Davis</a> and offered the services of his brigade, which he described as "all officered and ready for action except in arms and munitions of war."<a href="#cite_note-simmonsgames116-237">[237]</a> The Secession Convention had other plans: they intended for the militia to remain separate from the Confederate forces. The existing militia organizations were to be retained as a source of manpower and a last-ditch defense network. This resulted in many local militia company commanders volunteering their existing forces as new volunteer companies rather than organizing separate Confederate companies.<a href="#cite_note-confederate117-238">[238]</a> Efforts to mobilize the state's forces were subject to the competing interest of the State Military Board. The board recognized the need to quickly mobilize troops to defend the state, but wished to avoid as much of the cost of the mobilization as possible. Additionally the Military Board feared that troops raised to defend the state would be diverted into the eastern theater of operations by the Confederate government. This concern quickly proved valid. The board made a decision not to mobilize the existing state militia regiments, and instead began organizing new volunteer regiments. The existing militia law authorized volunteer companies to be organized into regiments and brigades of volunteer troops. The regiments are also referred to as "State Troops" in state records from the period. Existing Volunteer Companies, already organized in the militia, were inducted into these new volunteer regiments. The militia regiments would maintain a separate identity from the State Troops and later Confederate regiments.<a href="#cite_note-couchgenweb118-239">[239]</a> The board dispatched Christopher C. Danley of Little Rock to Richmond to open negotiations with the new Confederate government for the transfer of State Troops to the Confederate government. The Board immediately issued a call for 10,000 troops (10 regiments).<a href="#cite_note-confederate119-240">[240]</a> Acting under the militia law's authority to organize volunteer regiments, Governor Rector had already directed volunteer units to begin organizing, so the first seven regiments were already in the process of organization when the military board issued its call for troops. Much confusion exists in tracking the formation of military units during the initial months of the war<a href="#cite_note-Sikakis,_Stewart_Page_29-241">[241]</a> because several different governments (Confederate, state, and county), all with competing interests, were raising troops within the state. The State Military Board was raising units which it hoped to transfer to Confederate service. <a href="/wiki/James_F._Fagan" class="mw-redirect" title="James F. Fagan">James F. Fagan</a>, T. B.

Hindman, however, had problems organizing his companies and obtaining arms, perhaps because the Arkansas State Troops were actively organizing in the same area.<a href="#cite_note-cornell121-244">[244]</a> Col. Hindman's 2nd Arkansas Volunteers did not complete its organization and recruiting until June, and then had trouble getting orders from the War Department. Hindman's regiment was eventually sworn into state service and was then transferred to Confederate service with the rest of the eastern division of the Army of Arkansas. The Military Board developed its own plan for numbering the regiments of State Troops, but this plan was apparently ignored by the new brigade commanders, who tended to number regiments sequentially based upon the date they were sworn into state service. The plan was also ignored by Confederate authorities, who often renumbered the regiments of State Troops when they were transferred into Confederate service, based on the date they were sworn into the Confederate Army. The result is a great deal of confusion regarding the designation of any particular Arkansas unit.<a href="#cite_note-couchgenweb122-245">[245]</a> The <a href="/wiki/1st_Arkansas_Infantry,_State_Troops" class="mw-redirect" title="1st Arkansas Infantry, State Troops">1st Arkansas Infantry, State Troops</a>, commanded by Colonel <a href="/wiki/Patrick_R._Cleburne" class="mw-redirect" title="Patrick R.

Of the eight companies which were inducted into state service as a part of this regiment at Mound City on May 14, 1861, seven had been originally organized as volunteer companies under the militia law. The regiment was initially mustered into the Confederate Army as the 1st Arkansas Volunteer Infantry, Confederate States Army. Later it was determined that another regiment had already received that designation. The unit recognized by the Confederate War Department as the <a href="/wiki/1st_Arkansas_Infantry" class="mw-redirect" title="1st Arkansas Infantry">1st Arkansas Infantry</a> was commanded by Col.

section: Order of battle, Provisional Army of Arkansas">edit</a>]</div> The new Army of Arkansas was to consist of two divisions: the 1st Division, covering western Arkansas, and the 2nd Division in the eastern half of the state. A major general was to command the Army, while each division was to be under the command of a brigadier general. Each regiment was to consist of six to 10 companies.

Following the transfer of the State Troop regiments to Brig. Gen Hardee, virtually all the regiments stationed in northeast Arkansas were transferred in late September east of the Mississippi River to Bowling Green, Kentucky. Col. Solon Borland was left in command of a small force at Pitman's Ferry. Col. Borland's force was the only defense left in Northeast Arkansas.<a href="#cite_note-cdm15320.contentdm.oclc.org-314">[314]</a> The forces included: Borland's own cavalry regiment of seven companies, Col. McCown's five companies of infantry, Maj. Desha's four companies of raw troops, Capt. Robert's artillery unit of 60 men but no guns and about 150 recruits brought by Maj. McCray – altogether about 1286 men. But of these, owing to sickness and casualties Col Borland said he could count on no more than 600 for fighting service, and all were "raw, inexperienced, poorly disciplined and indifferently armed."<a href="#cite_note-simmonsgames.com-315">[315]</a> A second round of recruiting for new regiments was just getting underway when Col. Borland began receiving reports of enemy movements in Missouri. The initial reports seemed to indicate a possible movement on Pitman's Ferry. The Union army was massing troops in southeast Missouri mainly for the purpose of a thrust down the Mississippi River. But this posed a very real threat to all areas of northeast Arkansas.<a href="#cite_note-cdm15320.contentdm.oclc.org-314">[314]</a> Col Borland indicated that he had reliable information "that there are 300 infantry and 150 cavalry at Rives' Station, on Black River, 35 miles north of Pitman's Ferry.

Borland moved his command from Pitman's Ferry to Pocahontas and was sufficiently alarmed over the reports to issue a call for reinforcements from the militia. On November 5, 1861, Col.

Borland's call received an almost immediate response, but he continued to harbor serious misgivings about his situation. On November 10, he wrote to Maj. Gen. Leonidas Polk, C.S.A., commanding the 1st Division Western Department, at Columbus, Kentucky, and told of his call for reinforcements from the militia. He said the response was "somewhat tumultuous." On November 9, 1000 men had arrived unorganized and so ill-supplied with arms that be deemed it best to direct them to return home. They followed this direction and assured Borland that within a week's time he would have at least 3000 men at his command. He told them that companies thus organized and prepared would be received into service for 30 days from the time they reported again to him. Borland added a postscript to this letter, saying that he had just received a report from his scouts that a Federal force of 7450 was between Reeve's Station and Greenville in Missouri. He told Gen. Polk that the force he had was wholly insufficient for either attack or defense. It should be three times as large or be abandoned altogether; and finally he asked to be relieved of his command.<a href="#cite_note-simmonsgames.com-315">[315]</a> "It is a Brigadier's command, and should have his responsibility, which I am daily growing more and more distrustful of my competency to sustain. Public interests here would be better provided for by other and abler hands."<a href="#cite_note-simmonsgames.com-315">[315]</a> News of Borland's call for volunteers and the resulting convergence upon Pocahontas was of course reported to other parts of the state. The Arkansas True Democrat of November 14 printed a dispatch from Des Arc dated November 9, 11:00 pm: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">The steamer Kanawa Valley left Jacksonport this morning and reports here that large numbers of men are flocking to Bor1ands aid.

The women and children are all being moved from Pocahontas and active preparations are making for a stern resistance to the invaders.

It is the only militia regiment known to have been called up during the war for a specific mission. Confederate and State authorities became increasingly concerned about a shadowy organization in north-central Arkansas known as the Peace Society. The Peace Societies were largely union sympathizers who felt that the large slaveholding planters of southern Arkansas and the deep South had caused the war; they felt that they should be required to bear the burden of the conflict. Governor Rector ordered the 45th Arkansas Militia Regiment (Searcy County) to round up suspected Peace Society members in Searcy and <a href="/wiki/Van_Buren_County,_Arkansas" title="Van Buren County, Arkansas">Van Buren</a> counties.<a href="#cite_note-couchgenweb.com-328">[328]</a> The regiment mustered on November 26, 1861, at Burrowville (now <a href="/wiki/Marshall,_Arkansas" title="Marshall, Arkansas">Marshall</a>), and spent the next few weeks identifying and apprehending suspected Peace Society members throughout the mountains of north-central Arkansas.

Brigadier General Burrow of the 3rd Militia Brigade, wrote from his headquarters at Van Buren to Governor Rector on March 2 informing the governor that he feared that only about 1,400 out of the 4,800 men enlisted in the brigade would report for duty. This estimate was based on the first returns from the units he had called out in response to Brigadier General McCulloch's call. Burrow indicated that reasons for this poor showing were that many had responded to General McCulloch's call by simply joining the existing volunteer regiments. Others had gone into hiding in the mountains in order to avoid militia duty.

The legislature had been called into a special session beginning March 5, but the legislature lacked a quorum until 17 March when they began a 5-day session. Legislators who were tired of the high cost of attempting to maintain a separate state army sought to abolish the militia and passed an act to forbid Governor from paying Militia officers. The legislature did appropriates $575,000 to implement current military law. Governor used a <a href="/wiki/Pocket_veto" title="Pocket veto">pocket veto</a> to prevent the bill abolishing the militia and the bill forbidding him to pay militia officers from becoming law but signed the appropriation passed by the legislature and used the funds to finance Militia activities.<a href="#cite_note-arkansasheritage.com-337">[337]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Governor_Rector_attempts_to_organize_a_new_State_Army">Governor Rector attempts to organize a new State Army</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Arkansas_Militia_in_the_Civil_War&action=edit&section=27" title="Edit section: Governor Rector attempts to organize a new State Army">edit</a>]</div> Following his defeat at this battle, General Van Dorn initially retreated to Fort Smith and began moving his army back across the state in the direction of Jacksonport.

The general at once began to raise a new army. Facing the immediate threat of Federal occupation, General Hindman insisted that the State Military Board transfer all remaining state troops to Confederate service. Rector, having won the battle with Richmond and facing staggering costs in maintaining a state army, was in no position to refuse. On June 2, 1862, Rector issued a proclamation noting that it was "essential that but one military organization shall exist within the Trans-Mississippi Department" and transferred all state forces to Confederate command.<a href="#cite_note-confederate184-342">[342]</a> Relying upon a recently adopted Confederate conscription law,<a href="#cite_note-343">[343]</a> General Hindman drafted large numbers of men.

It may be that the militiamen decided it was better to enlist and remain together than to wait for forced conscription under new Confederate Conscription laws, which were being strictly enforced during the summer of 1862. In some cases, the Militia was ordered to assemble at their Regular Battalion Muster Grounds for the purpose of enrolling conscripts for service the Confederate Army. In many cases, names on the militia muster rolls from the February–March call up of the militia match subsequent enlistments in new Volunteer Regiments being raised in the spring and summer of 1862.<a href="#cite_note-Edward_G_2010-346">[346]</a> A good example of this process is Company A of the <a href="/wiki/6th_Arkansas_Cavalry_Regiment" title="6th Arkansas Cavalry Regiment">6th Arkansas Cavalry Regiment</a> which was enlisted at Hickory Plains, <a href="/wiki/Prairie_County,_Arkansas" title="Prairie County, Arkansas">Prairie County, Arkansas</a>, on May 9, 1862, by Captain Patrick Henry Wheat.

In the thoroughness that typified Hindman, he suggested the types of operations which the home guards should carry out: "Their duty will be to cut off Federal pickets, scouts, foraging parties, and trains, and to kill pilots and others on gun-boats and transports, attacking them day and night, and using the greatest vigor in their movements."<a href="#cite_note-reprinted-359">[359]</a> Although the home guard units were similar to the militia, the Federals accused Hindman of legalizing <a href="/wiki/Bushwhackers" class="mw-redirect" title="Bushwhackers">bushwhacking</a>.

The constant transfer of Arkansas troops into the eastern theater of the war, across the Mississippi River from their homes, was a major objection by the remaining population of men eligible for military service. With Federal forces now occupying the state capitol, the Confederate state government had no way of enforcing conscription laws in the counties behind the Union lines, except during raids by Generals Price and Shelby in 1864. The remaining Confederate regiments were plagued by desertions.<a href="#cite_note-THE_WAR_OF_THE_REBELLION_1898,_Page_901-367">[367]</a> On September 16, 1863, in the immediate aftermath of the fall of the state capitol, Governor Flanagin issued General Order No. 6 from Arkadelphia, which called into service the militia regiments of the counties of Clark, Hempstead, Sevier, Pike, Polk, Montgomery, La Fayette, Ouachita, Union, and Columbia in order to resist the Federal army. The Governor's order directed the regiments to march to Arkadelphia at the earliest possible day. Companies were to be mounted and commanders were to compel persons evading the call to come to the rendezvous. The intent was to form companies of twelve-month mounted volunteers. Only six physicians, one druggist, millers to supply the wants of the country, clerks, sheriffs, postmasters, and persons in the employ of the Confederate States were exempted from the order.<a href="#cite_note-google191-368">[368]</a> In describing this call in a letter to General Holmes dated October 18, 1863, from Washington, Arkansas, the new Confederate state capitol, Flanagin stated that he issued the order calling out the militia, as an experiment, expecting to get volunteers. The order succeeded so well as to get companies organized in the counties where the call for the militia was enforced which resulted in seven companies being collected under the call.<a href="#cite_note-THE_WAR_OF_THE_REBELLION_1898,_Page_901-367">[367]</a> Flanagin also stated that "the troops raised by the State are more than double all the troops raised by volunteering, or by the conscript law, within the past few months".<a href="#cite_note-THE_WAR_OF_THE_REBELLION_1898,_Page_901-367">[367]</a> On October 26, 1863, Governor Flanagin directed Adjutant General Peay to: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">visit Lewisville, in La Fayette County, and see Captain Ford, who has been raising a company of mounted riflemen under the State.

If the State troops which can be raised in La Fayette County are already raised you are authorized to disband the militia. If convenient, I would like for you to go to Union County. Captain Holloway has been raising a company of mounted riflemen in that county. If his company is organized, you can disband the militia of that county.

From that point, effective Confederate control was limited to the southwest corner of the state. Home guard units and guerrilla bands continued to mount frequent raids. The Union government acted quickly to establish a loyal government in Little Rock.<a href="#cite_note-Dougan,_Confederate_Arkansas_pp._119-378">[378]</a> That new loyal government was led by <a href="/wiki/Isaac_Murphy" title="Isaac Murphy">Isaac Murphy</a>. Murphy had gained fame, and no small degree of hatred, by his firm refusal to vote for secession during the state secession convention. In early 1864 a convention was held in Little Rock to draft a unionist state constitution. On March 14 the document was approved by the available voters; Isaac Murphy was shortly thereafter elected governor.<a href="#cite_note-Dougan,_Confederate_Arkansas_pp._119-378">[378]</a> Among Murphy's first acts was to call for the formation of a loyal state militia, as bushwhackers were running rampant in the state. On May 31, 1864, the legislature adopted Act Number Nineteen, which provided for the creation of "a loyal State militia." This legislation stipulated that "none but loyal and trustworthy men shall be permitted to bear arms in said organization." So that the legal militia could be easily separated from the guerrilla forces, the act required each militiaman to "wear, as a mark of distinction, and for the purpose of being recognized at a distance, a band of red cloth [three] inches in width, to be worn on their hats, or in the most conspicouns [<a href="/wiki/Sic" title="Sic">sic</a>] manner  ..." Governor Murphy was authorized by the legislature to solicit 10,000 stands of arms from the Federal authorities to supply the militia force. Albert W. Bishop, a lieutenant colonel in the 1st Arkansas (Union) Cavalry, became Murphy's adjutant general.<a href="#cite_note-reorganization-379">[379]</a> Using United States Army officers to oversee recruitment, the new militia slowly took shape. Recruitment was most effective in strong unionist areas, especially northwest Arkansas, and in areas where a large Federal garrison could provide assistance. By the end of September 1864 militia drills were being held at Little Rock and Fort Smith as well as other points. In Little Rock, authorities ordered businesses to close during the three-hour weekly drills to encourage full attendance.<a href="#cite_note-chronicles198-380">[380]</a> The rural areas of Northwest Arkansas, which experienced continual depredations by guerrilla forces, witnessed the formation of paramilitary organizations akin to, but different from, the Militia. Portions of the area had been stripped of productive farms, given the roaming bands of bushwhackers and Federal troops who frequently impressed food and supplies. Thus, a large percentage of the population faced starvation. As early as 1863, well before the formation of the Murphy government in Little Rock, Colonel M. LaRue Harrison, a Unionist commander and the man after whom the city of Harrison would be named, formed what came to be known as "Farm Colonies". These colonies would serve both a military and agricultural purpose. The colonies organized Militia companies composed entirely of farmers, which would be expected to cultivate the land and protect it.<a href="#cite_note-chronicles199-381">[381]</a><a href="#cite_note-rutherford-382">[382]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Connection_to_the_Arkansas_National_Guard">Connection to the Arkansas National Guard</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Arkansas_Militia_in_the_Civil_War&action=edit&section=35" title="Edit section: Connection to the Arkansas National Guard">edit</a>]</div> Current <a href="/wiki/Arkansas_Army_National_Guard" title="Arkansas Army National Guard">Arkansas Army National Guard</a> units do not trace their lineage and honors to any of the units that participated in the Civil War.
