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.

Book Description
The 3rd Cavalry Regiment, Mississippi Militia was organized on June 9, 1863 in Panola County, Mississippi under the command of Col. John McGuirk and served in the Western Theater. In October it contained about 450 effectives. It was reorganized in April 1864 and mustered into Confederate service as the 3rd Regiment, Mississippi Cavalry on May 3, 1864. The regiment was attached to Chalmers', Slemons, Gholson's, and W. Adams' Brigade. It was under the command of Col. William Ferguson Slemons of the 2nd Arkansas in the battles of Corinth, TN and Iuka, MS. They served under General George in the operations attending the raid of Colonel Mizner, June 15-25, 1863. They continued the war on the outskirts of the main army, engaging in many small skirmishes and battles in support of the Confederate forces. In January of 1864 the 38th was consolidated with the 14th Confederate Cavalry by order of Gen. Polk. At some point shortly thereafter the 3rd Mississippi Cavalry was also consolidated and the new "3rd Consolidated" was assigned to the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana under the command of General Leonidas Polk. The General then ordered that the regiment be given horses and they remained a cavalry unit until the end of the war.
