September 26, 1911

Confederate colonel Robert Glenn Shaver gave the main address at the dedication of a monument on the Shiloh battlefield to honor all the Arkansas soldiers who fought and died there. During the Civil War, Shaver organized and was colonel to the Seventh Arkansas Regiment that became known as “Shaver’s Regiment.” After the war, his activities with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in Arkansas resulted in him fleeing the state for fear of prosecution.
