ROSTER OFTlIE 

1 sT AND 2 ND REGIMENTS COLORED 

INFANTRY OF SAS 

This roster, taken from the React of Ad"utant General the State orKansas 1861-61 is 

included because many ofthe soldiers listed are believed to·. have been slaves from I\I.fissouri. Although 

most recruits denoted their residences as being located inside Kansas, a runaway slave would have been 

reluctant to volunteer his former master's address or claim it as his own. By the time these two 

regiments were organized, many blacks had already fled the war in I\I.fissouri to places ofsafety such as 

Fort Scott and Leavenworth. Thus, the identities ofmore than a few I\I.fissouri natives were obscured 

within the ranks ofthe colored infantry. 

"1 ST REGIMENT COLORED INFANTRY" 

This regiment was organized at Fort Scott, Kansas, and mustered in as a battalion on January 13, 

18 .. An ementat Island Mound, I\I.fissouri, on October 27, 1862, is claimed as the first action 

ofthe war involving bi troops.. At the time, these green recruits had merely assembled in the area, 

but had not been mustered into service fonnaUy.. They were attacked by Confederates under Col.. F .. 

M .. Cockrell. Ten men among the 1st recruits were killed and 12 wounded. 

Senator James Lane ofKansas was influential in organizing troops and was authorized in the summer 

of 1862 to do so by the War Department. Needless to say, rms· are ent ofAfrican American 

soldiers caused consid delay and opposition.. Perhaps the action at Island Mound, near Butler, 

I\I.fissouri, proved the worth of k soldiers. 

The 1It also SAW action in Indian Tenitory, Cabin Creek, on July 1-2, 1863, and Honey Springs 

later that month. The 1st also fought at Prairie d'Ane, Moscow, and Poison Springs, Arkansas. There 

the loss in killed and wounded was 187 out ofa force ofless than 500. 

On December 13, 64, the regiment's name was changed to the 79 th u. S. colored Troops (New).. 

Combined losses during the war came to 5 cers and 183 enlisted men killed in action and an 

additionall officer and 165 enlisted men felled by disease. 

The Regiment was mustered out at Pine Bluff: Arkansas, On October 1, 186S, being discharged at 

Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, on October 30, 1865. 

"2 ND REGIMENT COLORED INFANTRY" 

The 2 nd was organized at Fort Scott and Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in August, September, and 

October of 1863. Part ofthe 2 nd saw action at Baxter Springs, Arkansas, on October 6, 1863. 

On December 13, 1864, like the 1 st , 2 nd received a name change to the "83 rd u. S" Colored 

Troops (New)." etimes this long name, "United States Colored Troops," is abbreviated as USCT 

in some reference books. 

The 2 nd was deployed mainly in Arkansas. They fought at Jenkins' Ferry and had losses of 1 officer 

and 72 men killed or wounded.

continuing to the present time. Discharges provide a physical description ofthe soldier, the 

military unit or designation, a combat history, and other valuable genealogical data. 

For service earlier than World War I, the Recorder ofDeeds Records Books did 

military service. Discharges begin appearing in the 1860's. References toprevious military 

service appear in the records when veterans use their military service to receive landgrants. 

Usually the military unit andwar served in are listed Cherokee Removal includedin this

copies ofschool records may be used to apply for and receive birth certificates. Before the

Shady Dell School; Number ,Sunshine School; Number 90, Oak Grove School; and Number 

91, Pisgah School or Mt. Pisgah School. 

There were other black schools in Greene County; Ash Grove had one school The teacher 

listed in the 1936 directory was Ge dine Daster. C Springs taught the fmt tltro eighth 

grades where twelve students went to Maple School taught by L. Johnson. Walnut Grove had one 

sc taught by Miss Ceola Darton [SEE PVT. JAMES L. DART listing in Greene County 

Honor Roll Biographical Infonnation for more on Ceola Darton], Straffo had 17 students in 

school. High school students had to travel to Lincoln School in Springfield. Joplin also had a
