Robert Fain LOONEY Colonel 05 Aug 1824 19 Nov 1899
Also called 8th (Looney's) Tennessee Infantry, Provisional Army of Tennessee.
Organized September 23, 1861 at Camp Abington, Fayette County, Tennessee; reorganized May, 1862; formed Company "B", 3rd Consolidated Tennessee Infantry Regiment April 9, 1865; paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina, May 1, 1865.
This regiment at one time or another had fifteen companies attached to it, five of which were transferred to other organizations, and most of which bore two or more company letters. The original companies, with the letters used after the reorganization indicated, are shown in the list below.
When the regiment was organized on September 23, 1861, no arms were available, so General Carroll was not able to comply with Inspector General Cooper's order to proceed at once to join General Zollicoffer. Finally, on November 12, General Carroll reported; "I have armed Looney's with shotguns, country rifles, and old muskets, and started it yesterday to join Zollicoffer. White's (37th) similarly armed, will move to-morrow."
As a soldier in the Confederate army he distinguished himself for gallantry, dash and courage, as well as far-seeing wisdom and tireless vigilance in the command of men. At Shiloh, Robert Looney led a charge that took at least 1,000 prisoners, including General Benjamin M. Prentiss. Later, he himself was taken prisoner but was exchanged. Returning to active duty for the duration of the war, he surrendered at Oxford, Mississippi, in 1865. The 38th reported 65 casualties in this battle. Robert a brother in law Tennessee CSA Brig. General Preston Smith.

Jason Coe Pvt.
CompanyI Commander William H. McKamy Co. "I" Bradley County Called into service at Charleston, Tenn., November 13, 1861, the first company from Bradley county to enter Confederate service.
The regiment was organized at Knoxville, Tennessee on December 14, 1861, comprised of ten companies which had been recruited throughout the fall months of August through November. This was the 5th infantry regiment organized in East Tennessee. The regiment at no time appears to have consisted of more that 850 effectives. The regiment recorded it's first death December 23, 1861 when Pvt. Charles Webb, Co. E, age 18, died at Knoxville. Upon completion of training at the old fair grounds in Knoxville, the regiment in February 1862 was split into it's ten constituent companies and assigned to guard duty at various railroad bridges and "hog establishments" along the line from Chattanooga to Bristol. During this period, Capt. Sterling Turner, Co. F, recorded: "I hope to see every Tennessean rally to the standard with our governor at the head and drive the Northern Vandals from our soil."
In August they moved to Virginia in preparation for Bragg's Kentucky campaign where it saw hard soldiering but little if any fighting against the enemy. During this campaign they marched on foot over 600 miles where "some one unfortunately held his gun carelessly and shot Lieutenant Ben McCarty, of Captain McKamy's Co. [I] through the head, an ounce ball and two buck-shot piercing his temple and killing him instantly. It was soon learned that the alarm was false, the pickets having mistaken some moving objects for an enemy." Of their most recent experiences, Fife Major Issac Stamper, Co. F, noted: "soldiering was pretty rough living anyway and we would respond cheerfully to every call, animated by the hope of our Southern independence."
On December 22, 1862 the entire brigade entrained to Mississippi where they were assigned to the Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana as reinforcements for Lt. Gen. John Pemberton's army at Vicksburg arriving in that city on New Years day 1863. Enroute, arriving at West Point, Ga on Christmas morning, it was recorded: "The Colonel treated the boys and some of them got a little too much. Some of them got pretty tight and were quite funny all day."

Henry White Wounded above knee and shoulder.
A note about the rosters: The records of the 8th Arkansas Infantry Battalion are highly fragmentary. The battalion’s books and records were lost on two occasions—at the battle of Corinth and the surrender of Port Hudson—and as a result most information about this unit comes from other sources, such as brigade records, casualty and parole lists, promotion and discharge records filed with the Confederate War Department, postwar pension records and veterans’ reminiscences. Using these sources, it is possible to reconstruct rosters that list perhaps half to two-thirds of the men who served in the battalion. The task of researching this battalion was made even more difficult by the fact that it was sometimes referred to in contemporary sources as (Jones’) “First Arkansas Battalion” and (Miller’s) “2nd Arkansas Battalion.”
Henry Whire participated in the following battles: Shiloh, Perryville, Murfreesboro, TN. He was wounded above the knee in both legs, and also received a severe wound in the shoulder. He was left on the battle field for two days and nights before being taken prisoner and being sent to the hospital. He was then sent to Nashville, TN, and was there one month before being sent to Louisville, KY. Two months later he was sent to Cedar Point, VA and exchanged. He was not able to do service, so he returned home and remained there until cessation of hostilities.
