Appeal to the People.
The historical committee of Con
federate Veterans, to whom has
been assigned the task of writing a
history of Arkansas’ part in the
Confederate armies and the collec
tion of a roster of the names of ev
ery Confederate soldier who cnlist
ed in this state, has issued a
lengthy appeal to the people at
large to contribute toward defray
ing the necessary expenses to ac
complish the work. The committee
is without a dollar of state or na
tional aid and if this duty is to be
performed the money must be vol
untarily contributed by the people.
The circular says:
“The executive committee ha3
now exhausted every means possible
to obtain tinaneial aid from both
the state and national governments
and have failed in procuring even
the value of a postage stamp for
their six months’ effort. But one
more course is open to them for the
immediate beginning of this most
important and patriotic work. That
is, an appeal to a generous public
for contributions suiHcient to carry
on the work until an appropriation
can be secured from the next legis
lature, of which they feel there is
no doubt. They hope for no aid
from the general government, fur
ther than the printing of the partial
records in the war department, at
some time in the future, now un
known. This will be of much value
when done, hut must necessarily
fall far short of what needs to be
done to procure a complete roster
of our heroes of ’61-62, both in Con
federate and state service. It must
ho apparent to every one that this
will be a long, tedious and difficult
work, and will require much care
ful and painstaking labor, besides
expenses now impossible to esti
mate. No time can now be lost if
we are to grasp and bold the scant
evidence now possible to obtain. Ev
ery day removes some testimony
which it may be impossible to af
terward procure. In only a short
time all the active participants in
the most important and sanguinary
epoch of state history will have an
swered the last call to earthly duty.
Whilst their memories can still re
spond to the behests of history this
testimony must be secured. No oth
er course is open. The preservation
of history is a public duty, and this
special history, tattered, torn and
beggarly in its present condition,
appeals to every impulse of patriot
ism and good citizenship. The duty
left undone coming generations will
rise up and condemn. For these
reasons the executive board of th«
historical committee of Arkansas
Confederate Veterans makes this
pubur appeal. Kecent investiga
tions lead us to believe that some
records are still to be found in the
state capitol of great value. The
board therefore asks that each
camp of Arkansas Confederate Vet
erans at once raise a sum, equal at
least to $1 per member, in the com
munities in which they live, not by
assessment, but by solicitation in
their respective communities. Few
public spirited citizens will hesitate
to contribute one or more dollars.
The committee also asks that the
various chapters of the Daughters
of the Confederacy supplement this
fund in any manner they may deem
expedient to adopt.
“The Sons of Confederate Vete
rans, who honor the .memories of
their patriotic and heroic progenit
ors, are called upon to take a spe
cial and active interest in raising
this fund to an adequacy to carry
on the work till the state has had
another chance to do her glorious
duty.
“To the general public the com
mittee appeals for help, without re
gard to affection or afliliation. The
state press, the great coadjutor and
promoter of every good and public
duty, is urged to disseminate this
appeal, and as many as will make
special collections for the cause and
send to the treasurer. Gen. Jas. F.
Smith of Little Roek has been elect
ed treasurer of the committee, and
all contributions should be sent to
him
