George S. Waterman writes: "Fort McDermett was under the immediate command of Capt. Barnes, Company C, Twenty-Second Louisiana, and the artillery was manned by his own and Owen's Arkansas batteries - effectives, both companies, ninety-one. It was reenforced on the following day by Massenburg's Georgia Light Artillery - one hundred and ten effectives." Confederate Veteran Vol. 8, No. 1, Page 21
