We have no accurate means of knowing the number of men who
entered the Confederate army from Howard county. The number
could have not been less than 1,500 men, from the beginning of
the war to its close. It is supposed from the best information
that can now be obtained, that between 500 and 700 men joined
General Sterling Price while on his last raid through this
portion of the state. These soldiers were composed of all
classes and ages, from men of three score years to the mere
stripling of fifteen. Probably not more than one-third of the
entire number who entered the army remained until its close, or
did the duty of a soldier for any considerable length of time.
We have made every effort that we could to get the names of
these soldiers, but failed, except as to a portion of them,
which we have classed under the heads of officers and privates.
