Howard,
You might be interested in some of the accounts of Jonas H. Roe. He was part of the 5th Illinois Cavalry that fought side by side with the 5th Kansas (sometimes written Cansas) throughout Arkansas. Rhonda Kohl has used some of his letters for her research. While the letters follow the movements of the 5th Illinois Vol Cav, there is one letter that talks of a battle involving the "Kansas Boys" which may interest you:
