Frank, I notice also that while two of the regiments were recruited in the military prison at Point Lookout, Maryland, no other eastern prisons were used for recruitment of the frontier regiments. All of the remaining regiments were recruited in midwestern military prisons. It would be interesting to find out why.

I've put together the complete rosters of all six regiments, but I don't know where to post them. I guess I need to get a hold of Jim Martin and see what he recommends.

I've identified most of the Arkansas soldiers in these regiments, and maybe others could identify soldiers from other Southern states.
