Re: 4th Batt., Co. C, Arkansas InfantryPosted by Bryan Howerton on July 27, 2001 at 20:46:44: In Reply to: 4th Batt., Co. C, Arkansas Infantry posted by Kathy Cox on July 26, 2001 at 11:18:32: The 4th Battalion Arkansas Infantry was organized with five companies on November 9, 1861, at Little Rock. Company D was detached and assigned to the 1st Tennessee Regiment Heavy Artillery and never returned to the battalion. The battalion served east of the Mississippi River in the Army of Tennessee until 1863, when it was consolidated with the 4th Regiment Arkansas Infantry. The companies were organized as follows -- Co. A (Pulaski County) enlisted at Little Rock on Sept. 22, 1861. It was intended to increase the battalion to a full regiment, but it was rushed across the river to reinforce Columbus, Kentucky, with only five companies (later reduced to four), and never completed its organization as a regiment.
