Ed, unfortunately the post-Vicksburg record of the 15th Northwest Arkansas Infantry is almost non-existant. I can't find any record of the parolees from this regiment reporting to the parole camps at Enterprise or Demopolis. The regiment was reorganized west of the Mississippi at Washington, Arkansas, but there are no muster rolls available to indicate how men reported for duty. A handful of men seem to have spent at least some time temporarily attached to the 3rd Battalion Missouri Cavalry (CSA). I've read a postwar account which indicates that some of the men made their way back to Arkansas individually. But enough men seem to have worked their way back to Washington, Arkansas, to enable the regiment to be reorganized and integrated into the Trans-Mississippi Army and placed back into active service. There is a letter from a member of the regiment, dated May 5, 1865, which states that the regiment was in camp at Marshall, Texas, when the war was coming to an end.
