Helena Artillery (Key’s Battery).

The Helena Artillery was organized at Helena, Phillips County, Arkansas, on April 27, 1861, and enrolled in State service for three months on April 29.  Captain A. W. Clarkson was the first commander of the battery, which was initially composed primarily of Phillips County men.  On July 6, 1861, the battery was mustered into Confederate service for twelve months (later extended for the duration of the war) at Memphis, Tennessee.  A number of men declined to enter Confederate service, and were discharged on July 23, 1861, at Pitman’s Ferry, Arkansas.  The Helena Artillery was closely associated with Colonel Patrick R. Cleburne’s 1st Regiment Arkansas State Troops (later redesignated 15th Arkansas Infantry), and a number of transfers took place between the two units.  Later, the Helena Artillery was augmented by transfers from various Alabama, Missouri and Tennessee regiments, and by conscripts recruited in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee.  The battery crossed the Mississippi River with Hardee’s Brigade in the fall of 1861, and never returned to Arkansas.  Captain Clarkson resigned and was succeeded by Captain John H. Calvert on July 2, 1862.  Later that year, charges were preferred against Captain Calvert that he got drunk and exposed himself to the citizens of Nashville, Tennessee, and was put in jail by the guard.  He promised not to drink anymore during the war.  If he did, he was to tender his resignation.  Captain Calvert was showed up drunk on the battlefield at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, December 31, 1862.  He tendered his resignation on February 6, 1863.  He was succeeded in command by Captain Thomas J. Key, who had transferred from the 15th Arkansas Infantry the previous summer.  Key’s Battery fought in the Kentucky Campaign of 1862, as well as the battles of Shiloh, Murfreesboro, and Chickamauga, and the Atlanta Campaign of 1864.  The battery was mentioned for conspicuous gallantry and professionalism at Chickamauga.  Two members of Key’s Battery, Privates James McCourtney and George McMillon, were awarded the Confederate equivalent of the Medal of Honor for heroism at Chickamauga.  Captain Key had a reputation as an audacious battery commander, often running his guns up close to the enemy, in advance of the infantry, pouring rapid and accurate fire into the enemy.  Many reports and correspondence mention the incredibly fast loading and firing that characterized the Helena Artillery.  At the end of the war, the battery appears to have been divided into two sections.  One group, under Captain Key, surrendered at Macon, Georgia, on April 20, 1865.  The other group, under First Sergeant D. G. Johnson, surrendered at Selma, Alabama, on May 4, 1865.

Note:  The Helena Artillery was variously referred to as Clarkson’s Battery, Calvert’s Battery, and Key’s Battery.  The Compiled Service Records are filed under Key’s Battery, on NARA microfilm roll #39.
