9th Arkansas Field Battery
The 9th Arkansas Field Battery (1863–1865) was a Confederate Army artillery battery during the American Civil War. Also known as: Trigg's Arkansas Artillery Battery. This battery is distinguished from an earlier battery commanded by the same Captain John T. Trigg, which was also known as Trigg's Arkansas Battery, or Austin's Battery or the Austin Artillery and participated in the Battle of Shiloh. Trigg's earlier battery was disbanded in July 1862.〔Osborne, Phil "In addition.."

==Confusion regarding naming==
John T. Trigg commanded a battery in Hardee's Third Corps of the Army of Mississippi during the Battle of Shiloh. That battery was subsequently disbanded in July 1862. Captain Trigg drops from sight until his name reappears in Special Orders No. 161, District of Arkansas, dated from Arkadelphia on September 20, 1863, which ordered Captain Trigg, with his company to report to the commanding officer of Price’s Division. Exactly where and when this new company was formed is unclear from the records. A few days later, on October 11, 1863, Trigg requested and apparently was granted a furlough of four days.〔Odom,Danny "Re: Trigg's Battery after Shiloh", Arkansas in the Civil War Message Board, Posted 2/13/2013 , Accessed 6 August 2013, http://history-sites.com/cgi-bin/bbs62x/arcwmb/webbbs_config.pl?md=read;id=27876〕
Arkansas' capital city, Little Rock, had fallen to Union forces on September 10, 1862. During the operations leading up to the fall of the capital, W. E. Woodruff, formerly of the Pulaski Light Artillery, had formed a temporary battery for the defence of Little Rock. The battery was under the command of Woodruff and 1st Lieutenant Anderson Mills “of Trigg’s battery, on leave”. Woodruff goes on to state “Mills was first lieutenant of Trigg’s battery, so assigned from Marshall’s Battery. He was acting captain for the new battery from its inception until the surrender”.〔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), page 99-102〕 It is assumed that the “new battery” refers to Trigg’s Battery. The Compiled Service Record for R. A. Mills (Arkansas Miscellaneous) has the note “1st Lieut Comdg 9th Ark Batty. Trigg’s Battery.” It may be that the 9th Arkansas Field Battery was Trigg's in name only.〔Osborne, Phil "Trigg's Battery 1864", Arkansas in the Civil War Message Board, Posted 2/15/2013.
