Re: 8th Arkansas, CSA, For Bryan, if he is around

Hey, Linda. The 8th Arkansas Infantry was a consolidation of its original ten companies, plus ten companies from the 7th and 9th Arkansas Battalions -- upwards of 2,000 men. Only 78 men remained with the colors at the end of the war -- barely enough for a single decent-sized company. Here is a list of the men of the 8th Arkansas who were paroled as part of the 1st Arkansas Consolidated Infantry (Army of Tennessee) at Jamestown, North Carolina, on May 1, 1865 --

Other members of the regiment were paroled individually in hospitals throughout the South; a few were paroled while on detached service at various armories and depots; a few were on furlough in Arkansas and were paroled there; and some former members were serving in other regiments in the Trans-Mississippi Department and were paroled with those commands. And of course, quite a few of the men were held as prisoners of war in the North and were released at the end of the war.
