In Response To: Re: Arkansas 10th Infantry ()

The 10th Arkansas was among the first wave of Arkansans to volunteer. There were no conscripts in the regiment until about June 1862, after the Conscript Act began to be enforced. There were no Unionist "chain-gang" conscripts sent to the 10th Arknasas -- those men were placed in Companies I and K of Marmaduke's 18th Arkansas (later redesignated 3rd Confederate Infantry).

Howard H. Bradford enlisted in Co. D, 36th Arkansas Infantry, at Clinton, Arkansas, on June 16, 1862; and was mustered into service at Springfield, Arkansas, on June 30, 1862, for three years or the war. He was promoted to corporal, and subsequently died in the hospital at Camp Hope, near Austin, Arkansas, on September 4, 1862. Camp Hope was later renamed Camp Nelson, in honor of Brig. Gen. Allison Nelson, who also died there. Most of the men who died at Camp Hope (Nelson) were buried there, and today the site is enshrined as Camp Nelson Confederate Cemetery near Austin, in Lonoke County. Most of the graves are unknown, the original wooden markers having long since disintegrated.

Don, I don't know of any one website that deals specifically with the movements of the various Arkansas regiments. You can piece it together by following the links you run across that mention the 36th Arkansas, and McRae's, Churchill's and Gause's brigades, and the field officers (McRae, Davie, Glenn, Hanna, etc.)

A few years ago a master's thesis on the history of the 36th Arkansas was written. Maybe Linda Acrey or someone with a high-speed internet connection is willing to send it to you. If not, I'll try to send it via my old, slow, dial-up connection. I can't guarantee it'll get there -- my internet connection tends to time out when I'm trying to send a large file. We can't get DSL out where I live, and there's no cable TV out here.
