Reminiscences of Company 'h' - Dr Robert H Dacus

What I have written has been a1most entirely from memory, having nothing hut the company roll to guide me; and as more than thirty years have elapsed since the incidents recorded occurred, it will not be expected that I am correct in every detail. Yet I am confident that K. Perry, L. G. Hart, T. J. McCray, H. C. Cunningham and W. D. Jennings, who were with me, will corroborate, in the main, everything I have written. Neither have I written through egotism, but feeling that someone ought to give to posterity a condensed but true history of every company of Arkansas troops who served in the war. Were this done, and the whole taken and compiled into historical form, it would show the heroic part borne by Arkansas in the great struggle for State supremacy, one of the grandest of all the grand principles of Democracy.-R. H. D. Dardanelle, Ark., August 1st, 1897.
