The Third Minnesota Regiment in Arkansas, 1863-1865
DONALD J. SIMON
In late August of 1865 the Third Minnesota was ordered to report to Fort Snelling for mustering out. The governor of Arkansas paid the departing regiment this tribute: "While they have been on duty in our capital, good order has prevailed and they have won the respect and esteem of the citizens. When called to meet the enemy, they have proved ready for any undertaking and reliable in every emergency. . . . Their State may justly be proud of them, as they will do her credit wherever duty calls them." The Third Minnesota Regiment had performed well no matter what its duties were. Its discipline and professional competency were objects of praise and admiration wherever it was stationed. On September 16, 1865, after two years of continuous service in Arkansas, the men returned to their homes.
