MN AHGP Archives-Dakota Co. Civil War Record--3rd MN
THIRD INFANTRY OF MINNESOTA.

This regiment was organized in October, 1861, and originally commanded by Colonel Henry C. Lester, of Winona. Ordered to Nashville, Tennessee, in March, 1862. Captured and paroled at Murfreesboro in July, 1862. Ordered to St Louis, Mo., thence to Minnesota. Engaged in the Indian expedition of 1862. Participated in the battle of Wood Lake in September, 1862. Ordered to Little Rock, Arkansas, in November, 1863. Veteranized in January, 1864. Engaged in battle of Fitzhugh's Woods March 30th, 1864. Ordered to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, in April, 1864; thence to Duvall's Bluff in October, 1864. Mustered out at Duvall's Bluff September 2d, 1865. Dis�charged at Fort Snelling, Minnesota.

On account of the ill-advised surrender of the regiment, at Murfreesboro, a number of the offi�cers 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 be�haviour on the field of battle. There was but one field officer in this regiment from Dakota county, viz.: Samuel H. Ingham, quartermaster, dis. De�cember 1, '62.
