Book excerpt: Americans with even a casual interest in the history of the Civil War are at least vaguely familiar with the legendary Stonewall Brigade. But how many people know anything about the Third Missouri Infantry Regiment? Jefferson Davis referred to the First Missouri Brigade, of which the Third Missouri was a part, as the "unsurpassed brigade" (p. 97). The Missouri 3rd Infantry Regiment was a part of the 1st Missouri Brigade. They were formed late Dec 1861 in Missouri under General Little from members of the Missouri Militia. Several firsthand accounts are available at the brigade level, but little has been written on the 3rd Regiment. They fought throughout the war with the Army of Tennessee.
