Individual Details

"Alexander Corbin, Col., C. S. A. of Augusta, Arkansas, born April 11, 1821, in Limestone County, Alabama; died January 17, 1883, in Augusta, Arkansas, unmarried. He was a lawyer of note, and distinguished himself in both the Mexican and Civil Wars. When the U. S. proclaimed war against Mexico, he was one of the earliest to enlist from Alabama, and served throughout the war, and though but a young man, he returned not without distinction; with the close of the war he resumed his law practice in his native State, and in 1859 he removed to Arkansas, and located in Jacksonport. On May 5, 1861, the Jackson Guards, Co. G, 1st Ark. Reg. of Inf., was organized, and was the first company to enlist from Jackson County in the C. S. A., and of this company he was elected Capt. and served under Cot. James Fagan; in 1862 he was promoted to the Colonelcy, for high courage and great bravery; commanded the 10th Mo. Inf., Parsons' Brigade, succeeding Col. Stien, who had been killed in battle. He was elected to represent Woodruf County in the Constitutional Convention of 1868; he held many positions of honor, trust and public confidence. A diary kept by him during the Mexican War, recording the daily events, is now in the possession of his niece, Mrs. John W. Ferrill, of Batesville, Arkansas."
