The Louisiana 3rd Infantry Regiment was assembled during the spring of 1861
with men from Iberville, Morehouse, Winn, De Soto, Caddo, and Caldwell
parishes. The unit fought at Wilson's Creek and Elkhorn Tavern, then moved to
Mississippi where it was active in the conflicts at Iuka and Corinth . Later it
was assigned to L. Hebert's Brigade in the Department of Mississippi and East
Louisiana and was captured in the fight at Vicksburg . After being exchanged,
the regiment served in A. Thomas' Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department. It
contained 271 officers and men in March, 1862, lost forty percent of the 264 at
Iuka, and totaled 38 effectives in December, 1863. Early in 1865 the 3rd
disbanded.
