Camden Expedition battles

A few weeks ago I obtained the service record for my great-great-uncle, Crockett Boone of the 15th Arkansas (Northwest) Infantry, C.S.A. There are no records past his capture at Vicksburg in July of 1863 until he receives a parole certificate at San Antonio, Texas in October of 1865.
However, yesterday I received a copy of his hand-written account of his Civil War exploits, and apparently he took part in every battle of the Camden Expedition. He said after Vicksburg he went to the parole camp near Washington, Arkansas. Anyone know anything about that camp?
After he was exchanged, he took the field again at Mt. Elba, Prairie de Anne, Mark's Mills and Poison Springs, before his unit was disbanded at Marshall, Texas on May 26, 1865.
I have checked information on those battles, and the 15th Arkansas isn't listed among the units taking part. Why isn't there additional military records showing what unit Crockett Boone served in during this Camden Expedition? Does anyone have any ideas as to what unit he might have with to have taken part in all of these particular battles?
Finally, did many Arkansas regiments disband on May 26, 1865 in Marshall, Texas? If I knew which ones did, that would narrow down the search for what unit he served in over the last two years of the war. As always, any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
