OK since William H Huie is listed with the 31st Regiment Arkansas Infantry- Company D as having received the Award.
This regiment was out of Van Buren County and organized in Clinton Arkansas.
Is this information incorrect? http://www.couchgenweb.com/civilwar/arhonor.html
A total of 107 men are known to have served with Company D. Nearly a fourth of them died of disease during the war; only one of them was left at the surrender in April 1865. One member, Private William H. Huie, was awarded the Confederate equivalent of the Medal of Honor for his heroism at the Battle of Chickamauga.[13]
Depleted by death and desertion, the 31st Arkansas and the 4th Arkansas Battalion were consolidated with the 4th Arkansas Regiment on September 1, 1863. With barely enough men left to fill up two companies in the consolidated regiment, the 31st Arkansas boys served under the 4th Arkansas Regiment’s Colonel Henry Gaston Bunn until the end of the war. Fighting with remarkable courage at the Battle of Chickamauga, in September 1863, nine men of the old 31st Arkansas were awarded the Confederate equivalent of the Medal of Honor. On April 9, 1865, the remnants of the Arkansas regiments of McNair’s old brigade were consolidated into a single regiment—the First Arkansas Consolidated Rifles. About a dozen 31st Arkansas men were left when the consolidated rifles regiment surrendered with the Army of Tennessee at Greensboro, North Carolina, April 26, 1865.
