14th Regiment, Arkansas Infantry (McCarver's)

HISTORICAL NOTES:
Almost as soon as the 14th (McCarver's) Arkansas Infantry (1861–1865) was formed, it was divided into two separate units. The first five companies were organized into the 9th Arkansas Infantry Battalion, for which there are no records, while the remainder of the companies became the 18th Arkansas Infantry Battalion. The 9th Arkansas Infantry Battalion was later merged with the 8th Arkansas Infantry and served for the rest of the war as part of that regiment, While the 18th Arkansas Infantry Battalion was consolidated with the remnants of the 17th Arkansas Infantry Regiment (Lemoyne's); the combined unit was then designated the 21st Arkansas Infantry Regiment (Craven's). A tenth company was added in December, 1862. The companies were from Izard, Lawrence, and Randolph counties.

Another Arkansas regiment also bore the number 14. It was originally commanded by William C. Mitchell, but is best known as Powers' 14th Arkansas Infantry Regiment. OFFICERS: ROSTER: The roster of this regiment contains the names of 819 men.
