This company was organized at Mount Tabor Church, Lawrence (now Sharp) county, Arkansas, by Captain John W. Peter.  The company enlisted for 30 days on November 19, 1861, and was discharged on December 18, 1861, at Camp Borland, near Pocahontas, Arkansas.  Most of these men were landowners in what is now Sharp county, with a sizeable number from Independence and Izard counties.  Some of them subsequently enlisted in the 27th and 38th Arkansas Infantry Regiments.
