1st Arkansas Field Battery
The 1st Arkansas Field Battery (1861–1865) was a Confederate Army artillery battery during the American Civil War. Also known as: the "John D. Adams Artillery," or usually just "Adams Artillery"; Gaines' Battery; McNally's Battery. The battery made the crossing of the Mississippi River in April 1862 with Major General Earl Van Dorn's Army of the West. After being surrendered at the conclusion of the Vicksburg Campaign, the battery was reorganized in the Department of the Trans-Mississippi and served there for the remainder of the war.
== Organization ==
The battery was organized as the "John D. Adams Artillery," and mustered into state service in April, 1861. It was later re-enlisted for Confederate service, effective December 1, 1861.〔Sikakis, Stewart, Compendium of the Confederate Armies, Florida and Arkansas, Facts on File, Inc., 1992, ISBN 978-0-8160-2288-5, page 32.〕 The unit was named in honor of an Arkansas Veteran of the Mexican-American War. John D. Adams had served as a private in Colonel Yell's 1st Regiment of Arkansas Mounted Gunmen and suffered a wound at the Battle of Buena Vista. Following the war he became a successful merchant, planter and steamboat operation in Little Rock. John D. Adams did not serve with the battery that bore his name. He did later obtain a commission as a Major in the Quartermaster Department under General Thomas C. Hindman.〔GOODSPEED'S HISTORY OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS, 1889, Page 415, as transcribed by Charlotte Curlee Ramsey and Pat Stacks Ramsey 2006, accessed 13 February 2013, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cramsey/Goodspeeds.Pulaski.Co.AR.by.CRamsey.html#Maj.
