1st (Fagan's-Colquitt's) Infantry Regiment, formed during the early spring of 1861, contained men from Union, Clark, Ouachita, Jefferson, Saline, Pulaski, Jackson, Arkansas, and Drew counties. Ordered to Virginia, the unit entered Confederate service at Lynchburg. It fought at First Manassas, moved to Tennessee, participated in the conflict at Shiloh, then took an active role in the Kentucky Campaign. Later it was assigned to General L. E. Polk's and Govan's Brigade and was prominent in many battles of the Army of Tennessee from Murfreesboro to Bentonville. This regiment reported 11 killed and 90 wounded at Murfreesboro, lost forty-five percent of the 430 engaged at Chickamauga, and totalled 302 men and 217 arms in December, 1863. During July, 1864, this unit was united with the 15th (Cleburne's-Polk's-Josey's) Regiment and in the Battle of Atlanta lost 15 killed, 67 wounded, and 3 missing. Very few surrendered on April 26, 1865. The field officers were Colonels John W. Colquitt and James F. Fagan; Lieutenant Colonels William A. Crawford, W. H. Martin, Donelson McGregor, James C. Monroe, and John B. Thompson; and Major Stinson Little.

First Arkansas Confederate
The First Arkansas Confederate was organized in May,
1861, at Little Rock, immediately after the taking of the
arsenal. Before the creation of the military board,
Thompson B. Flournoy had been authorized by President
Jefferson Davis to organize a regiment for the Confeder-
ate service. The first companies which arrived in Little
Rock sought admission into this regiment, and were
recognized by Colonel Flournoy, a patriotic planter of La-
conia, on the Mississippi river, and supporter of the presi-
dential ticket of Douglas and Johnson. He had certain
other gentlemen associated with him in .the commission,
which gave dissatisfaction, and upon the actual organiza-
tion of the regiment Colonel Flournoy was defeated for
the colonelcy, and Capt. James F. Fagan, of Saline county,
was elected; Capt. James C. Monroe, of Clark county,
was elected lieutenant-colonel, and John Baker Thomp-
son, major. Prof. Frank Bronaugh, of the military
department of St. John's college, Little Rock, was
chosen adjutant. Colonel Flournoy and the others
acquiesced with good grace in this result, and were
chosen to positions in other commands. Colonel Flour-
noy was afterward promoted to brigadier-general in
the Confederate service. Company organization : Com-
pany A, Union county, Capt. Asa Morgan; Com-
B, Clark county, Capt. Charles Stark, of Arkadelphia;
Company C, Ouachita county, Captain Crenshaw, of
Camden; Company D, Jefferson county, Capt. Donel-
son McGregor, of Pine Bluff; Company E, Saline
county, Capt. William A. Crawford, of Benton; Com-
pany F, Pulaski county, Capt. William F. Martin, of
Little Rock; Company G, Jackson county, Capt. A. C.
Pickett, of Augusta; Company H, Arkansas county, Capt.
Robert H. Crockett, of DeWitt; Company I, Drew county,
Capt. James Jackson, of Monticello ; Company K, Arkan.
sas county, Captain Quertermous, of DeWitt. The regi-
ment was immediately ordered to Richmond, and on the
road attracted much attention, being known to have
among its captains a grandson of the immortal Davy
Crockett, and Capt. Donelson McGregor, who was reared
near the Hermitage, and was grand-nephew of the
beloved wife of Old Hickory. The regiment was sta-
tioned at Aquia creek, near Fredericksburg, in the brigade
of Gen. T. H. Holmes, and was led by him into the bat-
tle of First Manassas, in which it participated late in
the day, supporting Capt. Lindsay Walker's battery of
artillery. It was then stationed at Evansport, where
the men of the regiment, under Capt. Will H. Mar-
tin, made a daring but unsuccessful attempt to cap-
ture the Federal gunboat Pocahontas, on the Potomac.
The regiment was ordered thence to Corinth, and took
part in the bloody battle of Shiloh. J. M. Harrell, of
Little Rock, who was then holding the State office of
solicitor-general, was a volunteer aide-de-camp on Gen-
eral Holmes' staff at First Manassas.
