Third Confederate Cavalry Regiment

The 3rd Confederate Cavalry [aka: 11th Cavalry] was another of Gen'l Wheeler's commands for the greater part of the war. Seven of the companies were Alabamians and included the cavalry battalion of Major W. N. Estes which merged into the 3rd. The regiment operated around the Army of Tennessee, and was in several battles and raids, and in innumerable skirmishes. These included Murfreesboro, Triune, Hoover's Gap, Chickamauga, Bridgeport, Trenton, McAfee's, and Noonday Creek. The regiment was used repeatedly for picket duty and for scouting and distinguished itself for gallantry and endurance.
