Damon, the missing word at the end of that paragraph is "corps".

Some of these remarks cast some light on the 17th Arkansas (Record of Events)

Company F (March 1 to June 30, 1862)
Captain furloughed for 60 days at Little Rock, Arks., commencing on 23d April 1862 and ending on 23d June 1862. Not having arrived, having the old muster rolls with him. Not having an old muster roll to copy by, cannot tell whether a true copy of the old muster roll or not. 1st and 2d lieutenants furloughed at Little Rock, Arks., commencing on 23d April and ending on 23d June 1862. Furloughed for the purpose of gathering their men together who were scattered at Elk Horn battle, March the 8th, 1862. The majority of the men never reported after the battle of Elk Horn.

Company C (September 1 to October 31, 1862)
Three-fourths of the men of this company were in the State service of Arkansas, and were of the gallant 3d Arks. under Gratiot at Oak Hills. This company entered the Confederate service on 12th Nov. 1861, and have been in the battles of Elk Horn, Farmington, Iuka and Corinth. Official reports show the service they performed as a body, but the cases of individual good conduct in the face of the enemy were numerous. Ganet Oliver, very young, planted the colors on the captured artillery at Iuka. W. T. Cline was wounded at Elk Horn severely after exhibiting great coolness & activity, being very particular during the fight to shelter with his own body the person of Hiram Boothe, a boy of 16 years of age. John A. Cline, 1st Sergt., John Duhig, 2d Sergt. & M. Sandels, 2d Sergt., were conspicuous at Elk Horn. Sandels, Duhig and Lindsey were so at Farmington, Iuka & Corinth. At Corinth Hiram Boothe, 16 years old, fell mortally wounded & died in the enemy’s hands. A boy of great promise, in truth honesty, in word & action, modesty and personal endowments of form and face—the pride of the regiment and an honor to his country. The officers all did well. DOTSON, late Capt.

The men of this company reported west of the Miss. River were left in Arkansas when the remainder marched under Genl Van Dorn to reinforce Genl Beauregard at Corinth in April 1862, being partly sick in hospital and partly on furlough. They were ordered to rejoin their command and were enroute to do so when Genl Hindman ordered them to remain & put them in a regiment then organizing. They are still there.
