Book Description
During or after the Civil War, no official history was ever written on this Missouri Union Cavalry Regiment. This book hopefully will accomplish this. While the Regimental records now lay at the bottom of the Mississippi River near Greenville, Mississippi when the Steamer B.M. Runyan hit a snag in the river and sank in the summer of 1864, the records have now been reconstructed for the first time along with Rosters. This book is based upon three separate partial histories which were incomplete individually, but have been conveniantly consolidated into a consistant timeline, for the benefit of the men who served in the Regiment as well as future researchers. From early events through the end of the war, the book also gives a brief history of the Civil War in Missouri.

Book Description
Americans with even a casual interest in the history of the Civil War are at least vaguely familiar with the legendary Stonewall Brigade. But how many people know anything about the Third Missouri Infantry Regiment? Jefferson Davis referred to the First Missouri Brigade, of which the Third Missouri was a part, as the "unsurpassed brigade" (p. 97). The Missouri 3rd Infantry Regiment was a part of the 1st Missouri Brigade. They were formed late Dec 1861 in Missouri under General Little from members of the Missouri Militia. Several firsthand accounts are available at the brigade level, but little has been written on the 3rd Regiment. They fought throughout the war with the Army of Tennessee. Companies Of The MO 3rd Infantry Regiment Company A - Richmond, Ray County, Missouri Company B - Springfield, Greene County, Missouri Company C - St. Clair County, Missouri Company D - Springfield, Greene County, Missouri Company E - Greene County, Missouri Company F - Greene County, Missouri Company G - St. Clair County, Missouri Company H - Springfield, Greene County, Missouri Company I - Lafayette County, Missouri Company K - Springfield, Missouri
