The above family lived in the old Stroud home built by John and Easter. On
August 12 1862 F. B. Stroud was recruited into the Confederate Army by
Captain Berry (also my kin) at Huntsville. The unit from which he served was
known variously as the 27th Arkansas Infantry, Shaler's Regiment, Captain
Gibson's Company, and (new) Company C. His name, as a member of this unit,,
appears on the roll of prisoners of war dated June 8, 1865 at Shreveport,
La. It states, "...commanded by Capt. S. S. Taylor, surrendered at New
Orleans LA by General E. K. Smith C.S.A., to Maj. Gen. E. R. S. Canby,
U.S.A., May 26, 1865, and paroled at Shreveport, June 8, 1865."

>From conversation with Charley:
My father was at Pea Ridge. That was his first battle. He said that he had
volunteered, and his part of the army disbanded after that battle, and he
came home by way of War Eagle Mills (possibly indicating he was in the group
that successfully decoyed federal troops toward Huntsville while the major
portion of the confederates retreated the the mountains south of
Fayetteville)
He stayed home about six months, but he said it just got so dangerous he
couldn't stay and had to go back. That was the way with a lot of them. They
joined the army for safetys sake. There was a bunch of fellows from Missouri
and Kansas that came down here and went to killing and robbing. They ran
every able bodied man off. Oh, it was a bad time. They had a bad time then.
He was in the bunch that surrendered at Shreveport. He was somewhere in
Texas whenever the war ended and he came back to Shreveport to surrender.
When he came home he went down the Red River to the Mississippi and rode on
a Mississippi steamer up to Calico Rock. He said the Missouri-Pacific
Railroad was built through there and they rode the train through to Little
Rock on an old flat car. And he walked from Little Rock home. They walked
through. There was about fifty of them."
