A. .B. Sholars, M. D., of Little Rock, is a native of Georgia, born in Harris County, June 19, 1836. At the age of thirteen years he accompanied his family to their new home in Jackson parish, La., and in March, 1861, he was graduated by the medical department of the University of Louisiana. Soon afterward he went into the Confederate service with the Vernon Guards, a company of the Second Louisiana infantry, which went to Richmond in 1861, and first encountered the enemy in the trenches of Yorktown, gaining a fine reputation by brilliant fighting at Dam No. 1, in April, 1862. Doctor Sholars was appointed assistant surgeon after the arrival of the regiment in Virginia, and assigned to duty in the hospital at the William and Mary college building, Williamsburg. At that place he was under fire in the battle of May, 1862, and subsequently he was with the regiment in the Seven Days' battles, ending at Malvern Hill, where the regiment was again highly distinguished. After this Doctor Sholars was on duty in the Richmond hospitals, caring for the many wounded and disabled in the fierce campaign which drove McClellan from before Richmond, until General Lee invaded Maryland, when he was with the army again, and returning with it to Virginia, was on duty on the fields of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. He participated in the Pennsylvania campaign, was under fire at Gettysburg, and after that battle was left at the field hospital in charge of his wounded who could not be moved, and so fell into the hands of the Federals. As a prisoner of war he was held at Ft. McHenry, Md. Then being exchanged he rejoined his regiment in time to participate in Early's campaign in the Shenandoah valley, including the battles of Winchester and Fisher's Hill. After the return of his command to Richmond he was detached for duty at Salisbury, N.C., where he remained until the close of the war. On his return to Louisiana he engaged in the practice of medicine, for two years in Jackson parish, and afterward at Monroe, La., where he also embarked in t business as a druggist .Since his removal to Little Rock, in 1890, he has given his attention entirely to business, as a member of one of the leading drug firms of the city.
