THIRD INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized in October, 1861, and originally commanded by Col. Henry C. Lester, of Winona. Ordered to Nashville, Tenn., in March, 1862. Captured and paroled at Murfreesboro in July, 1862. Ordered to St. Louis, Mo., thence to Minnesota. Engaged in the Indian expedition in 1862. Partici- pated in the battle of Wood Lake in September, 1862. Ordered to Little Rock, Ark., in November, 1863. Veteranized in Janu- ary, 1864. Engaged in battle of Fitzhugh's Woods, March 30, 1864.

On account of the ill-advised surrender of the regiment at Murfreesboro, a number of the officers were dismissed from the service, which partially demoralized portions of it, and they were sent north to guard the frontier. Their lack of experience in the arts of war had more to do with the surrender than lack of courage, as the regiment subsequently proved by their behavior on the field of battle.

FOURTH REGIMENT INFANTRY.
This regiment was originally commanded by Colonel J. B. Sanborn of St. Paul, organized December 23, 1861; ordered to Benton Barracks, Mo., April 19, 1862; assigned to army of the Mississippi, May 4, 1862; participated in the following marches, battles, sieges and skirmishes: Siege of Corinth, April, 1862; Iuka, September 19, 1862; Corinth, October 3 and 4, 1862; siege of Vicksburg, Forty Hills, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, assault on Vicksburg, capture of Vicksburg, July 4, 1863.

The organizing members of Company C were nearly all from Dakota county, and mostly from the town of Lakeville, where the company was formed. It was the outgrowth of a home- guard militia that had been organized there during the summer of 1861. They bought their own uniforms for home-guard pur- poses and were furnished arms by the state. Under the call for 600,000 volunteers in 1861, they responded almost to a man, retaining nearly their official organization. During the winter of 1861-62 they were located at Fort Ripley, and went south with their regiment in the spring. The comapny built up a record they are justly proud of and were appreciated by their commanding officers. After the battle of Altoona, they were complimentarily mentioned by General Sherman.
