In the mountain counties of North Arkansas in the fall of 1861 secret organizations were formed for self protection and apparently to resist Confederate authority. Total membership in the organizations was estimated at 1700. Only a part of the records relating to the Peace Society survived, but they are sufficient to show the scope and nature of the organization.

Six preachers among the leaders seem to have been especially influential. The brotherhood was indigenous, composed of mountaineers who had no intention of going to war on either side and who wanted to be left alone.
There could of course be no neutrality, and the members were forced to take sides.

Regular scouting parties were sent into northern Arkansas to secure additional men, including former members of the Peace Society.
