HISTORICAL NOTES:
The Napoleon Cavalry, a company of the 6th Arkansas Militia (the Desha County Militia), was organized on February 28, 1861, at Napoleon, Desha County, Arkansas. After Arkansas seceded from the Union in May, the company reorganized as a volunteer company, known as the Napoleon Rifles, and rode to Fort Smith, where they enlisted in Confederate service as Co. G, 1st Arkansas Mounted Rifles, on June 15, 1861. The Napoleon Rifles served with the 1st Arkansas Mounted Rifles throughout the war, eventually surrendering with the Confederate Army of Tennessee in North Carolina in April 1865.
