Arkansas True Democrat [Little Rock],
September 19, 1861
The “Camden Knights,” Company B, Capt. Logan, reached Memphis last Monday as a part of Col. Smith’s 11th regiment of Arkansas volunteers, and are now encamped near the Fair Grounds. They are represented to be one of the best drilled companies that has yet been raised in the State, and are armed in excellent style for a fight with the Hessians–each one having a minnie musket, a navy repeater, and a ponderous “toothpick,” which they have learned to use in a very expert manner. The company is the thirteenth one that has been furnished to the Confederate service by Washita county, which has a voting population of eighteen hundred.–Memphis Appeal, Sept. 7.
