*7th Arkansas Volunteer Infantry Regiment
(The Bloody Seventh)

The 7th Arkansas Volunteer Infantry was raised by Colonel Robert Glenn “Fighting
Bob” Shaver in the 
spring and summer of 1861. Men enlisted from White, Jackson, Randolph, Izard,
Fulton, Lawrence, 
Marion, and Independence counties in north western Arkansas. They were mustered into
service at 
camp Shaver near Bettis Bluff, Arkansas. At Muster, the regiment contained over
1,200 Officers and 
men. During the first few month of the war, the regiment was called “The Ragged
Seventh” because of 
their ragged civilian clothing and rough appearance. 

The regiment saw service at Columbus and Bowling Green in Kentucky, and on the
evacuation of the 
latter place by General Albert Sidney Johnston in February of 1862, the 7th acted as
the rear guard. 

At Shiloh, Shaver was the brigade commander. The 7th attacked with Lieutenant
Colonel Deane in 
command and the Field Music (Fifes and Drums) Playing “Granny, will Your Dog Bite?” 
Colonel Shaver 
had four horses shot from under him and was badly wounded by a shell on the second
day of the fight. 
They also went into Shiloh armed with flintlocks and shotguns. They were re-armed
with M1863 
Enfields that were captured. After Shiloh, the regiment became forever known as “The
Bloody Seventh”. 
They were down to 300 men by the time of the battle of Perryville 6 months later.
