Company L—“Rust Guards”

This company of volunteers, calling themselves the “Rust Guards,” in honor of Colonel Albert Rust, was organized at Latonia, Ashley county, Arkansas, July 1, 1861, by Captain Joseph Daniel Christian.  The men were mainly from Ashley county and neighboring Drew county.  It was assigned to the Third Regiment, Arkansas Volunteers, as Company L.  On September 25, 1862, the company was disbanded.  Forty-two of its members were transferred to company A—also from Ashley county.  A total of seventy-three men were carried on the rolls of Company L during its existence.  Only ten of them remained when the regiment was surrendered at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.  Their paroles were signed on April 12, 1865, and they were released to go home.
