Thanks for the info on the Arkansans in Kansas regiments. It sure would be interesting to see that quantified. You're right, there's got to be quite a few of them. Perhaps one of these days when Bryan finishes up his research (whenever that may be!), we will have a much better understanding of how many Arkansans ended up in regiments from other states.
BTW--There were also quite a few former Arkansas slaves in the 1st Iowa Infantry, African Descent (later the 60th United States Colored Infantry).
