<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 7608893, member: 74863"]Happy Birthday to me. Today is my birthday and I decided to purchase this CSA Note. It is endorsed on the back side with a signature and A.R. 30th. This is the Arkansas 30th Infantry Regiment (1862-1865). They were a Civil War regiment also known as the 5th Arkansas Cavalry, the Trans-Mississippi Regiment or 39th Regiment after April 1863. They were converted to mounted infantry for Price's Missouri Expedition in 1864, also known as Rogan's Arkansas Cavalry.</p><p><br /></p><p>Originally formed on June 18, 1862, with Colonel Archibald J. McNeill as the first commander. The state was facing an invasion after the defeat of General Earl Van Dorn at the battle of Pea Ridge.

McNeill rebuilt the forces and at that time they were mounted troops. By July 10, 1862 McNeill's General, General Hindman ordered McNeill's troops to be dismount and sent the horses home.
