Pulaski Light Artillery

I am trying to get a good list of the engagements that the Pulaskil Light Artillery/Weaver Light Artillery/Woodruff's Battery/Marshall's Battery/3rd Arkansas Field Battery was involved in. I understand that it was orgionally raised as the Pulaski Light Artillery and was at the Battle of Wilson's Creek , was discharged with the rest of Pearce's State Troops, and then reformed in Little Rock as Weaver's Light Artillery, under the command again of first Woodruff and later Marshall. But there seem to be conflicting accounts of the engagements after Wilson's Creek.

The Soldiers and Sailor's System list the engagements of Marshall's Battery as:
Wilson's Creek,
Elkhorn Tavern.
Prairie Grove,
Helena, and
Bayou Fourche"

Sikakis, Stewart, Compendium of the Confederate Armies, Florida and Arkansas, Facts on File, Inc, has the following list:
Wilson's Creek
Helena
Little Rock
Red River Campaign
Camden Expedition

So they agree on

Wilson's Creek
Helena
Bayou Fourche (Little Rock)

What do we think about
Elkhorn Tavern (Pea Ridge)
Prairie Grove, and
the Camden Expedion, (Red River Campaign)?
