In December, within a month of the formation of the regiment, the regiment marched north to meet Union forces at the Battle of Prairie Grove. On December 7, 1862, as part of Parson's brigade, the 10th was aligned to defend the main Confederate body of forces. By mid-day, Parson's brigade was moved up to the main line driving Union forces back. This gain was stalled by Union artillery. The attack cost the regiment dearly; casualties totaled 31 dead, 62 wounded and 3 missing, including the deaths of both the commander, Colonel Alexander E. Steen, and executive officer, Lieutenant Colonel Chappell. Larue was wounded in the forehead during this attack (Battle of Prairie Grove). In late May, Major General Sterling Price ordered the 10th to join his forces, marching them northeast of Little Rock in Jacksonport. Now with Price's division, in late June they moved southeast to the Mississippi River to confront the a Union garrison at Helena, Arkansas. This move was hard, taking 12 days, marching across flooded river bottoms. In the pre-dawn hours of July 4, 1863, simultaneous attacks against Batteries A, C and D were planned.

The rest of Price's division was not quite as successful, meeting with strong resistance and leaving the 10th without proper support. Left without a choice, Pickett called for a retreat of his division, with disastrous results; the division was left nearly decimated with 11 killed, 41 wounded and 237 captured with only 236 able bodied soldiers remaining. Larue was one of the prisoners captured in battle. By August, the 10th returned to defend Little Rock against Union assault, however, the attack came to a different point in the city, leaving the regiment spared from harm.
