Pvt John Tarkington 2nd Kansas CT Camp # 3

VAN BUREN, ARK

This camp organized in 2022. 
The camp is named after the former slave, John Tarkington (Talkington/Tuckington), who joined the 2nd Kansas Colored Infantry, which was later reorganized into the 83rd U.S. Colored Troops.  He died as result of wounds suffered in the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry.
