Third Cavalry Wisconsin

In Jan., 1864, three-fourths of the regiment reenlisted and
after a furlough were sent to Benton barracks. The regiment
was ordered to Memphis in July and sent to Devall's Bluff,
Ark. It engaged in picket duty and scouting service in the
vicinity of Huntersville and Little Rock most of the time
until Aug. 28.

A detachment under Maj. Derry, with other mounted troops,
numbering 800 in all, routed a body of 1,200 cavalry, and 145
men under Maj. Derry -took part in an expedition to Fort Smith
in September. The remaining companies were stationed at
various points in Missouri, except Co. M. which was sent to
Pawnee, Kan.

Most of the regiment remained near Little Rock during the
winter, engaged in scout, guard, patrol and skirmish duty.
