Arkansas military records reflect the state's involvement in many key conflicts, from the Civil War to World War I and World War II. Civil War service records for Confederate and Union soldiers are extensive, often listing age, birthplace, residence, and service details. Later records include World War I and II draft registrations, which cover nearly all eligible men and include personal and family information. Arkansas veterans' pension records, particularly for Confederate soldiers, are also valuable. Additionally, the Arkansas State Archives and local courthouses house service and discharge documents. For genealogists researching their roots in Arkansas, these records provide important clues about ancestors' lives, community involvement, and experiences during critical periods of American history.
