1st Regiment, Arkansas Light Artillery (Confederate)

"Units of the Confederate States Army" by Joseph H. Crute, Jr. contains no history for this unit.

The Jackson Light Artillery was organized at Jacksonport, Jackson county, Arkansas, on June 15, 1861. Most of the original members of the battery were from Jackson county, but there were men from neighboring Craighead, Independence, Lawrence, White and present-day Woodruff counties who also joined the battery at Jacksonport.
