The 11th Missouri Infantry was formed from the Missouri State Guard. Recruiting was led by Colonel DeWitt Hunter of Vernon County. It was originally called the 7th Regiment or Hunter's Regiment. it underwent some other designations until it was designated as the 11th Missouri Infantry in Dec. 1863.

It was formed in response to the need for Confederate troops in Missouri caused by the troops of Generals Sterling Price and Earl Van Dorn having been called to Corinth, Mississippi to engage the Federal forces under General Ulysses Grant.

In response to this recruitment in Missouri, the Federal forces in Missouri and Kansas were organized into The Army of the Frontier. Confederate and Federal forces concentrated their commands in Southwest Missouri. The superior Federal forces forced the Confederate forces back into Arkansas. It was in Arkansas in Nov. 1862 that Hunter's Regiment joined up with the Confederate forces and became part of Parson's Brigade.

They fought throughout Southern Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. On 1 April 1865, the regiment arrived in Shreveport, Louisiana. On May 26, 1865, the regiment, including the 11th Missouri, surrendered at New Orleans. The men were paroled at either Alexander, Louisiana on 7 Jun 1865 or Shreveport on 8 June 1865.
