Letters from Thos. L. Snead
The 2nd Arkansas Field Battery (1861-1865) was a Confederate Army artillery battery during the American Civil War. It was also known as the Dallas Artillery and Hart's Arkansas Battery. The battery was re-organized on two occasions. Following a charge of cowardice during Battle of Pea Ridge, the battery was ordered to disband. After being cleared of that charge the battery was reorganized and served until it was captured at the Battle of Arkansas Post. After being exchanged and re-organized for the second time, it served until the final surrender of Confederate forces in May 1865.
