Re: Arkansas Units at the Battle of Pleasant Hill

I believe, though I can't show official records documentation, that Cocke's Regiment (39th) was at Jenkins Ferry. Col John b Cocke was killed there and I have account of at least one Saline Co soldier of company D stating he was in command of the company there. They just don't show up in any of the regimental mentions that I can find. I would speculate they were with Hawthorne in the initial attacks there in Cooper Field.
