Re: Confederate flag of Howell's Texas Battery

That is correct, and they took part in the attack against Fort Smith, but only had one section able to participate due to the broken down condition of the companies horses. The section was held in reserve so didn't see any action in that engagement. They returned to the Indian Nations performing various duties until the time for the Cabin Creek campaign of Sept. 64.

Howell's artillery company was first engaged at Newtonia Mo.
It's last was Second Cabin Creek.
