Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
In the battle of the Wilderness the 3d was in Birney's division, 2d corps, which is mentioned in the American Cyclopedia as follows:
The next movement of the enemy was to press betweon the corps
of Generals Warren and Hancock on the left center. Here the contest commenced about 3 P. M. In anticipation of this movement General Hancock's advance had been checked, and his corps was rapidly moving to close the gap between it and the center. One division of the 6th corps, under General Getty, had been detached and moved to the left, taking position on the right of the Orange Court-house plank road.
