COMPLETE ROSTER
OF EX-CONFED’S.
Little Rock, May 17. —CoL S.
H. Nowlin, who has charge of
the work of compiling the roster
of Arkansas troops who served
in the Confederate army, is
making much headway with the
work. He announces that he
has secured the entire roster of
the generals and field officers of
all the regiments and battalions
who served in Arkansas during
the war, either in Confederate or
state troops.
“This roster was secured for
me by Col. V. Y. Cook,” said
Col. Nowlin yesterday, “and is
the best information I have yet
received in my work. It is a
complete list and goes a long
way toward helping me in the
work of compiling the complete
roster of troops. As this roster
gives the names of all generals
and field officers correctly, the
work of securing the names of
the men who served under them
should be easier.”
