220:- Bearss is still considered to be one of the greater Civil War historians of recent times, so I think citing his work should be fine, especially since one of the two citations is just an attributed estimate of casualties. I've got a more recent book by Bearss (late 80s or early 90s) that also has a chapter on Helena, so I'll try to consult that as well.
445:. I can't find anything for Jenkins' Ferry, Helena appears to have been overlooked because of the much more interesting Vicksburg stuff going on nearby and at the same time, and the only one I've turned up for Prairie Grove depicts a Union charge on the complete other side of the battlefield from where this unit was engaged.
243:- I've swapped out the two 1961 refs with cites to a more recent book by Bearss (which is largely identical to his 1961 journal article). I found a 2017 PhD thesis about civil war Helena that I'll add to the Battle of Helena article when I get a chance, but the thesis has only a single passing mention to this unit.

Yes, I'm aware of a short book on this unit titled "The
Bravest of the Brave: Pindall's 9th Missouri Battalion of Sharpshooters" but the publisher of that book has a rather wide quality range (they've published recognized subject-matter expert James McGhee, but also some iffy neo-Confederate stuff)
605:
I've gone ahead and changed all references to "Union Army" to "Federal Army" or "Federals". From what I've seen, the use of the term "Union" is starting to fall out of academic usage in order to place less emphasis on the right of secession and more emphasis on the other aspects of the war. At

There's no
Confederate colonel page, and given that it was essentially identical to the main US Army rank, I don't think there will ever be one. I've redlinked Burns - not 100% sold there's enough to base a decent article about him on, but he served two terms in the Texas legislature and was
601:
The context of the passage is more
Missouri, which had a couple arsenals (big one in St. Louis and a small one in Liberty), but nothing like what was present in say, Texas. I'm a bit hesitant to add too much background detail after it caused problems at a recent
169:
Unless I've forgotten about one, this will be my first
Missouri CSA unit to ACR in over a year. This one was a scrappy sharpshooters unit that stood out somewhat at the Battle of Helena, but played a pretty pedestrian role in the rest of the war.

so I've avoided using it. It's held by a few semi-local public libraries so I can get ahold of it if deemed necessary, but I'm not inclined to use it unless source quality can be strongly established.

He sent
Pindall's battalion into the fray. Not long before sundown, the Union forces withdrew off of the mountain in the face of a Confederate attack.

On April 21, 1862, the
Confederate States Congress created an authorization for each brigade of infantry to be assigned a battalion of sharpshooters.

Excellent. I removed one further instance of "Parsons's" that I spotted, but otherwise, a really good article, well done.
638:
Seems to be a comma missing after "cavalry". To avoid having too many of the things, consider restructuring the sentence.

It looks like Bearss is an old source from 60 years ago. Is there another recent source that covers his claims? Cheers.

Were there US Army garrisons in Arkansas in 1861 and if so, where were they? And why not refer to the US Army as such?

As this conveys an opinion, ideally it should be attributed in the prose whose belief it is, to avoid any concerns of
