Re: 3rd Arkansas Infantry "Elite"

Jim,

Since the "less than flattering remark" about war gamers was mine (I say this with a bit of an embarrassed smile on my face!).I must say that I have always been one to "shoot first and ask questions later". A particular quirk I picked up as a grunt in I Corps many years ago. Seems to get me in a lot of hot water. Especially if my Psychologist at the VA finds out! Again I apologize for any disparaging remarks, and stand rebuked. However the reason I post this is that you mention something I had forgotten. Since the 3rd Arkansas could not very easily recruit from its home base it did receive some locals in Virginia. Especially after Sharpsburg. As to them being conscripts I cannot say. This could have an effect on how one might classify the unit.
