 === Brief History  ===
-"3rd (Harrison's) Cavalry Regiment was organized during the winter of 1863-1864. It was made up of four cavalry regiments and was very active during the Red River Campaign, March–May 1864. It returned to northeast Louisiana.  Later that fall the brigade went into Arkansas with the Army of Western Louisiana. Later it skirmished in various conflicts in the Monroe area and disbanded in May, 1865. <ref>National Park Service, [https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/soldiers-and-sailors-database.htm The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System], (accessed 6 December 2010).</ref> <ref>Arthur W.

 === Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin  ===
-Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the parishes 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 parish first. Because these are regimental units, the men were gathered from many parish areas. Click on the links below to see the parishes where many men came from in the respective regiments.
