The “Monticello Guards” was organized at Monticello, Drew County, Arkansas, on May 8, 1861, with 105 officers and men.  James A. Jackson was elected captain; Lawrence W. Livingston, first lieutenant; Stinson Little, second lieutenant; and John W. Colquitt, third lieutenant.  The company was composed mostly of men from Monticello, with some men from the surrounding countryside, and a handful from neighboring counties.  This was an unusually well-educated and literate company of men.  Its ranks included lawyers, physicians, clerks, merchants, and skilled artisans of all trades.  Unlike most Arkansas companies, farmers were a distinct minority in the Monticello Guards.  Interestingly enough, men whose skills and professions, such as the many physicians who enlisted in the company, could have easily been used to secure commissions or staff appointments; instead chose to serve in the ranks as privates.  Very few desertions occurred in the Monticello Guards.  They served from Manassas to Bentonville, in some of the bloodiest battles of the war, sustaining appalling casualties (especially at Shiloh), yet remained true to the colors to the end.  This appears to have been a highly-motivated group of men.
