Help Needed improving Arkansas Civil War Unit Histories!

[edit]

The List of Arkansas Civil War Confederate units is nearing completion. This list was developed by cross referenceing units listed in several sources including:

Sikakis, Stewart, Compendium of the Confederate Armies, Florida and Arkansas, Facts on File, Inc., 1992, ISBN 0-8160-2288-7
National Park Service, Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System
Edward G. Gerdes Civil War Home Page

The List needs to be improved by adding at least one reference for each unit on the list.

The individual articles are also in need of additional improvements. The unit articles tend to rely on four primarly sources:

Sikakis, Stewart, Compendium of the Confederate Armies, Florida and Arkansas, Facts on File, Inc., 1992, ISBN 0-8160-2288-7
National Park Service, Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System
Edward G. Gerdes Civil War Home Page
Col. John M. Harrell, "Confederate Military History, a library of Confederate States", Military History: Volume 10.2, Arkansas Clement Anselm Evans, Ed.
Hempstead, Fay, "A Pictorial History of Arkansas" St. Louis and New York, N. D. Thompson publishing company, 1890, Call number: 9197481

The following is a list of suggested improvements for the individual articles:

References. Many of these articles rely on posting to the Arkansas in the Civil War Message Board. While these postings are often from noted historians or published authors, such as Bryan Howerton or William Shea, they could be improved by adding additional references to orgional documents such as the Official Records of the American Civil War. The The War of the Rebellion: a Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies are available on line at Cornell University Library
Militia Connections. Many of the Volunteer regiments raised by the State of Arkanssa, particularily in the first year of the war, had as their core, Volunteer Militia Companies which were raised under the state's existing militia laws. These connections can be drawn by cross referencing with Arkansas Militia in the Civil War, which relies heavily on the following sources:
Kie Oldham Papers, Arkansas History Commission, One Capitol Mall, Little Rock Arkansas
Arkansas Military Department Records, List of Commissioned Officers in State Militia 1827–1862, Microfilm Roll 00000038-8
Militia Law of the State of Arkansas, Published by direction of the Commander in Chief of the Army of the State of Arkansas and the Militia thereof
Photographs. Providing at least one photograph for each history.
Flags. Providing information on any documented Flag associated with the unit will be very helpful. A good resource for this is [Dedmondt, Glenn, "The Flags of Civil War Arkansas", Pelican Publishing, 2009
Uniforms. Providing as much detail of the uniforms of the paticular unit as possible. An excellent resourse for this is Ron Field, Richard Hook, :The Confederate Army 1861-65 (4): Virginia & Arkansas", Osprey Publishing, 2006
Coypediting. All the articles could use a thorough Copyediting.
Wikilinks. All articles could use additional links to other articles. For example, many articles mention battles and important leaders who often have their own wikipedial article.
Bibliography. Each article needs to have a section that list "Further Reading" or a Bibliography of books and articles which have been published regarding that particular unit.

There is plenty of work to do and this is a great way to celebrate the Civil War Sesquicentennial. Happy Editing! Aleutian06 (talk) 15:09, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
