3rd Cavalry Regiment was organized during the spring of 1863 as the 3rd
Mississippi State Cavalry and in October contained about 450 effectives. It was
mustered into Confederate service in April, 1864. Some of the men were recruited
in Calhoun and Grenada counties. The regiment was attached to Chalmers',
Slemons, Gholson's, and W. Adams' Brigade and fought in various conflicts in
North Mississippi, Kentucky, and West Tennessee. Later it skirmished in Alabama
