'Captain Joseph L. Neal, of the Davis Blues, was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the regiment, Augustus Simpson Hutchinson succeeding him as captain.'
'The Fifth Regiment, along with the rest of the Arkansas State Brigade (Brigadier-General Nicholas Bartlett Pearce) and Brigadier-General Ben McCulloch's Confederate brigade, marched into Missouri, where they joined forces with Major-General Sterling Price's Missouri State Guard. While encamped on Wilson's Creek, just south of Springfield, Missouri, on the morning of August 10, 1861, the Southern force was attacked by a powerful, but poorly-coordinated Federal force under Brigadier-General Nathaniel Lyon. The ensuing Battle of Wilson's Creek (or Oak Hill, as it is generally known in the South) was a costly Southern victory. Although the Arkansas State Brigade was heavily engaged in the battle, and suffered
appalling casualties, the Fifth Regiment was held back for much of the battle, providing security for the Confederate artillery and functioning as a strategic reserve. When finally called into action, the regiment suffered three killed and twelve wounded, plus Lieutenant-Colonel Neal, mortally wounded while leading the regiment forward.'
