7th Arkansas Field Battery
The 7th Arkansas Field Battery, originally known as the Blocher’s Battery (1862-1865), was a Confederate artillery battery that served during the American Civil War. The unit was also known as Blocher's Battery or Zimmerman's Battery.〔United States. War Dept. The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union And Confederate Armies.

P. 641, Accessed 14 January 2012, http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth145053/m1/658/?q=Coleman〕 The battery spent its entire existence in the Department of the Trans-Mississippi.
==Organization==
Blocher's Battery was created in the summer of 1862 during Major General Thomas C. Hindman’s effort to rebuild Confederate forces in Arkansas. When Major General Earl Van Dorn transferred his Army of the West from Arkansas to Northern Mississippi in April of 1862, he stripped the state of its military stores and almost every organized military unit, including all of the artillery. The only organized batteries were actually in the Indian Territory (modern Oklahoma) supporting Brigadier General Albert Pike's forces.〔Woodruff, W.E. ''With the Light Guns in '61-'65: Reminiscences of Eleven Arkansas, Missouri and Texas Batteries in the Civil War''. (Little Rock, AR: Central Printing Co., 1903).〕 One of Hindman's first acts in command was to order Woodruff's Battery, also known as the Weaver Light Artillery, to return to Little Rock from the Indian Territory.〔Copybook of Orders and Letters from Thomas Hindman's Command, 11 June - 30 Dec. 1862.

To correct this, General Hindman ordered that the battery re-organize and a new election of officers occur.〔Copybook of Orders and Letters from Thomas Hindman's Command, 11 June - 30 Dec. 1862. Peter Wellington Alexander Papers, Box 9, Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Columbia University in the City of New York, Accessed 7 March 2014, http://cdm.sos.mo.gov/cdm/fullbrowser/collection/mack/id/9245/rv/compoundobject/cpd/9396/rec/2〕 In this election, First Lieutenant William Durbin Blocher and First Lieutenat James Cook were not re-elected.〔Copybook of Orders and Letters from Thomas Hindman's Command, 11 June - 30 Dec. 1862.

To facilitate the creation of this new battery, General Hindman arranged for the transfer of an experienced cadre of cannoneers from Woodruff's battery to Blocher's new battery.〔Copybook of Special Orders from Thomas Hindman's Command, 11 Jun. - 19 Aug. 1862.

Blocher’s Battery was organized at Little Rock, Arkansas, on August 6, 1862. An experienced cadre of veterans from the Weaver Light Artillery (Woodruff’s Battery)〔Howerton, Bryan R., "Arkansas Artillery Batteries", Arkansas in the Civil War Message Board, Posted 12 May 2004, Accessed 2 November 2011, http://history-sites.com/cgi-bin/bbs53x/arcwmb/arch_config.pl?noframes;read=7332〕 was assigned to the new battery, which was augmented by unassigned recruits and transfers from other regiments. The battery officers were Captain William Durbin Blocher, First Lieutenant James Cook, Second Lieutenant Jesse V. Zimmerman, and Third Lieutenant Edward Visart, all of whom were assigned from the Weaver Light Artillery.〔
