The Arkansas Democrat of Sept. 8, 1899 (pg.
states that Mr. Montgomery was a member of Bartow's
"celebrated Battalion of the 17th Mississippi".
The article goes on to state that he was a Colorbearer and was
receiving a State pension. A resident of Bayou Meto in Pulaski County.
Anyone know the true unit that this man belonged to? Any additional
information?
