Brief History[edit | edit source]
The 3rd Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry was organized at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and it was mustered in June 19, 1861. It moved to Louisville, Kentucky, June 11-16, and there it was mustered out July 18, 1865. [1]
Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin[edit | edit source]
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.
