THIRD REGIMENT INFANTRY.
HE Third Regiment of Infantry, Maryland Volunteers, was organ- ized at Baltimore and Williamsport, Md., from June 18, 1861, to February 17, 1862, to serve three years. On the expiration of its term of service the original members (except veterans) were mus- tered out and the veterans and recruits consolidated into a battalion of four companies, and remained in the military service of the United States until July 31, 1865, when it was mustered out of service by reason of close of the Civil War and by order of the War Department.
The organization of this regiment was commenced at Baltimore, Md., in August, 1861, by Colonel J. C. McConnell, under special authority from the Secretary of War ; five companies were raised and were known as Companies A, B, C and D; the fifth com- pany being incomplete, was, upon completion, known as Company H.
On the 16th day of February, 1862, four companies of infantry, who had been enlisted in the summer of 1861, at Williamsport, Washington County, Md., many of whom were Union men and refugees from Berkley and Jefferson Counties, Va., were assigned to the Third Regiment of Infantry, and designated as Companies A, B, C and I (the latter company being incomplete). In consequence of this consolidation, the original Companies A, B, C and D became Companies D, E, F and G, respectively.
On the 11th of May, 1862, the companies bearing the designation of E, F, H and I were broken up, and the men were distributed among Companies A, B, C, D and G.
These discontinued companies were replaced by four companies recruited for the German Rifles or Fourth Maryland Infantry, and the Baltimore (or Dix's) Light Infantry, both of which had failed to perfect their organizations.
The Companies transferred from the Fourth Infantry were styled E and H, and these from the Dix Light Infantry I and K.
The regiment then comprised nine companies, namely, Companies A, B, C, D, E, G, H, I and K; a tenth company (F), composed of nine months' drafted men, organized October 15, 1862, at Easton, Md., was assigned to the regiment February, 1863. This company was mustered out of service Sept. 2, 1863.
John C. McConnell was the first colonel of the regiment.
On the 24th day of May, 1862, the Third Regiment of Infantry proceeded to Har- per's Ferry, Va., then endangered by the advance of General (Stonewall) Jackson's Confederate Army, and was assigned to General N. P. Banks' army, subsequently better known as the Twelfth Army Corps. The regiment, with Banks' Division, participated in the severe battle of Cedar Mountain, Va., August 9, 1862, and all of the subsequent movements and engagements incident to the campaign under General Pope.

THIRD REGIMENT INFANTRY.
The regiment, with the Twelfth Army Corps, participated in the Maryland cam- paign, under General Mcclellan, that culminated in the battle of Antietam, September 17, 1862, in which the Third Regiment of Infantry performed its duty nobly.
After the battle of Antietam the Third Regiment, with the Twelfth Army Corps, remained in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia until the latter part of December, 1862, when it marched, with the Twelfth Army Corps, to Eastern Virginia, and was engaged in the battle of Chancellorsville, Va., May 1 to 3, 1863.
At the time of the invasion of the States of Maryland and Pennsylvania in 1863, the regiment, with the Twelfth Army Corps, were actively engaged, and at the battle of Gettysburg, July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 1863, the regiment acted splendidly.
The Third Regiment, with the Twelfth Army Corps, were transferred to the west- ern armies, operating in the State of Tennessee in the winter of 1863-64, and aided in the relief of Chattanooga, Tenn., that was so closely beleaguered by the Confederate Army, under General Bragg, prior to the arrival of the Eleventh and Twelfth Army Corps, transferred from the Army of the Potomac, after the defeat of Bragg's Army and the expulsion of the Confederate Armies from the State of Tennessee.
The original members of the regiment who had seen two years' service, veteranized in February, 1864, re-enlisted for the war. Upon the expiration of its veteran furlough in April, 1864, the 3d Regiment of Infantry was assigned to the 2d Brigade, 1st Divi- sion, 9th Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, and continued with the 9th Army Corps until the close of the war.
The 3d Regiment of Infantry participated in all of the campaigns under General Grant, commencing at the battle of the Wilderness, Va., May 5 to 7, 1864, and ending at the surrender of General Lee's army at Appomattox, Va., April 9, 1865.
The 3d Regiment was actively engaged in the battles of Spottsylvania, Va., May 16 to 20, 1864; assault on Petersburg, Va., 1864-1865; the battle of the Crater, July 30, 1864, and the final capture of Petersburg, Va., April 3, 1865.
The casualties in the 3d Regiment of Infantry during the war were as follows : Killed, eight officers and eighty-three enlisted men-total, ninety-one; died of disease, four commissioned officers and one hundred and thirty enlisted men-total, one hundred and thirty-four; or an aggregate death list of two hundred and twenty-five.
The 3d Regiment of Infantry served in Dix's Division, Army of the Potomac, from muster in to March, 1862; Middle Department, 8th Army Corps, to May 24, 1862; 1st Brigade, Sigel's Division, Department of the Shenandoah, to July, 1862; 1st Brigade, Second Division, 2d Corps, Army of Virginia, to August, 1862; 2d Brigade, Second Division, Second Corps, Army of Virginia, to September, 1862; 2d Brigade, Second Di- vision, 12th Army Corps, to March, 1863; 2d Brigade, First Division, 12th Army Corps, to May, 1863; 1st Brigade, First Division, 12th Army Corps, to April 25, 1864; 2d Brigade, First Division, 9th Army Corps, to September 1, 1864; 3d Brigade, First Division, 9th Army Corps, to July, 31, 1865.
The 3d Regiment of Infantry marched 1771 miles during the Civil War, and it traveled by rail two thousand nine hundred and three miles; by boat, two hundred and eighty-nine miles ; total distance, four thousand nine hundred and sixty-three miles.
