Dissolution
- Following the Second Battle of Newtonia, the Army of Missouri retreated from Missouri into Arkansas, Indian Territory, and eventually eastern Texas. The remnants of the 12,000 Rebels who entered Missouri on September 25 finally made their way back to Arkansas on December 2. Confederate officials subsequently dissolved the Army of Missouri and 8,000 soldiers who returned were absorbed into the Army of the Trans-Mississippi. Price was reduced to a divisional commander in that force.
