Fellows:

I'm trying to sort out the Confederate Order of Battle for August/September 1863, during the Little Rock Campaign. So far, this is what I've come up with in checking several sources.

Am I missing anyone here? There are a couple of stray batteries still not listed, I'm still trying to figure out what their brigade affiliation were, or whether they were organized into some sort of artillery reserve/Div Arty... Likewise with a cluster of independent, out-of-state cav companies that were apparently attached to Dobbins' Brigade, at least during the fighting at Terry's Ferry & Bayou Fourche...

Thanks!

Tom
