Arthur Willis Gloster was sworn into the Army of Tennessee in May of 1861, at Randolph, a small town on the Mississippi River. He and Nathan Bedford Forrest were sworn in together in the Cavalry Company of Captain White of Memphis, their hands together on the same Bible.
Captain Gloster was an engineer with the Army of Tennessee and was at Island No. 10, Shiloh, Corinth and many other fields of battles and skirmishes before being captured when Vicksburg fell. He was exchanged the following October at Demopolis, Alabama and ordered to Missionary Ridge where he was placed in command of Company C of the 3rd Regiment Engineers.
He later was sent to Atlanta to build wagons and boats for the pontoon trains of the Army. He remained in command of this train, building bridges over the streams crossed by the Army of Tennessee until the end of the War.
After the War, Captain Gloster was engaged in locating and constructing some of the most important railroad lines in the South. He built the railroad line in Mississippi which produced the town of Gloster, Mississippi so named in his honor.
