Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
The contest now raged in this vicinity. " Breaking camp again on the 11th of June, 1863, the regiment, still in Sick-les's 3d corps marched via Centreville, Edward's Ferry, and Frederick City, to Gettysburg, Pa., over dusty roads and during an intense heat. It was engaged in the actions of the 2d and 3d of July, at Gettysburg. Having on the 2d. been hurriedly pushed forward (together with the 5th Mich. ) as sharp-shooters on a skirmish line about a mile beyond Emmettsburg turnpike, the enemy were discovered moving in large force for the purpose of turning the union left.
