I want to flesh out the 27th's history a little more. I believe the unit was not engaged at Prairie Grove because it was still unarmed. After Prairie Grove, and Hindman reorganized what was left of the Army, the 27th is also reorganized which accounts for the list of Old and New companies B and C. The (new) company B, Company D and Company F all have former members of Adam's Arkansas Infantry Regiment. What happened to old Companies B and C, and did Companies D and F just receive re-enforcement from the men from Adam's Regiment or are these also new companies as well?
