Mr. Lyle Sparkman, Vice President of the Missouri Archaeological Society submitted the following regarding the Yocum Creek skirmish.
“You list “Yocum Creek, Mo., November 15 (3 Cos.),” which accurately reflects the OR. However, the National Archives believes that unlikely. They believe the Skirmish at Yocum Creek to take place in Carroll County, Arkansas, some 10 miles below the Missouri-Arkansas line. I have visited the site, reviewed the existing artifacts and papers, and interviewed locals. There is no doubt that the fight took place in Arkansas. There are burials in the immediate area, one of which is marked and dated as a trooper in Company K, 1 Ark Cav, US who is listed as dieing on Nov. 15 at Yocum Creek, Arkansas in the 1867 report to the Adjutant General of Arkansas. I have wondered why the battle was reported as being reported in Missouri when Cpt. Theodoric Youngblood, commanding Co. K, knew the area to be in Arkansas. Companies G & K were mustered from the very area of the fight. They were checking on Unionist families on that date when encountering rebel forces and hastening to evacuate the families to Elk Horn (now Pea Ridge NMP) in the west (Benton CO), where they arrived days later “in a state of severe destitution.” It may be unpopular to counter the revered OR, but the archaeology and records soundly refute the Missouri location of the Nov. 15 skirmish in which, directly or by wounds, 8 members of the 1st Arkansas eventually died. “
