R. Norfleet Camp #194 of Forrest City, and Robert C. Newton Camp #197 in the capitol city, which is the only remaining original camp.

Confederate Regimental Histories Directory 

The Confederacy raised between 764 and 1009 regiments over the period of the Civil War. The lack of adequate records precludes a more accurate count. Regardless of the actual number of regiments recruited, the list below is but a small fraction of those that were raised. It is hoped that many other Civil War regiments will find a "webmaster" in the future to preserve their history.

Company D, 1st Arkansas Volunteer Infantry(Clan McGregor)
The 1st Arkansas Infantry Regiment, Company D (Clan McGregor) is a living history organization based in Pine Bluff Arkansas. Our membership is composed of a wide variety of people who promote the local history of Jefferson County and that of Arkansas, in general. We principally portray a unit of Confederate infantry serving in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. For historical continuity, we have chosen as our namesake a unit of the Confederate Army of Tennessee known as Company D, 1st Arkansas Volunteer Infantry, and the Clan McGregor of Pine Bluff. In addition to our Confederate impression, we also portray, from time to time, a unit of Federal infantry serving west of the Mississippi River.

Patri
ck  Cleburne Society
For all his courage, his sterling character, and selfless commitment to his cause, Patrick Cleburne has not received the commemoration his career and personal bravery deserve. The Patrick Cleburne Society was founded in 1998 to perpetuate his memory through events and seminars commemorating his life and accomplishments. Arguably the best Confederate general in the Army of Tennessee, Cleburne remains virtually unknown to most Americans and many Southerners. Through the Patrick Cleburne Society, we hope to rectify this oversight, and preserve for future generations not only the battlefields where Cleburne’s Division won immortality, but the story of the man who led it.

Sons Of Union Veterans
Union veterans of the Civil War organized into the Grand Army of the Republic and became a social and political force that would control the destiny of the nation for more than six decades. Membership was restricted to men who had actually served in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Revenue Cutter Service during the Civil War, thereby limiting the life span of the G.A.R.
