On the morning of October 14th [1862], McCulloch was ordered to leave the bivouac at Argenta and move northeast a distance of 14 miles, into winter quarters at Camp Hope, two miles east of the village of Austin. To honor General Allison Nelson, McCulloch renamed the new encampment. Henceforth, it would be known as "Camp Nelson". . . . .

back at Camp Nelson near the village of Austin, fallen comrades lay among the trees under decaying wooden stakes.

And there they lay, almost forgotten for 35 years, until in 1898 a group of Arkansas Confederate veterans resolved that something should be done to commemorate those who served and died at Camp Nelson.

One of those veterans, James M. Gately, donated a tract of land for a cemetery four miles southeast of the nearby village of Cabot. Then, in 1905, the Arkansas Legislature appropriated $1,000 for a monument, and the remains of 428 Rebel soldiers were taken from the woods and re-interred in the new Camp Nelson Confederate Cemetery.
