The 3rd Arkansas Cavalry (1861–1865) was a Confederate Army Cavalry regiment during the American Civil War. ==Organization== 3rd Cavalry Regiment was organized June 10, 1861 as 1st Arkansas Cavalry Battalion (Borland's). Mustered into state service as the 1st Arkansas Mounted Volunteer Regiment. Mustered into Confederate Service for one year on July 29, 1862. Redesignated as the 3rd Arkansas Cavalry Regiment on January 15, 1862. Received the attachment of Companies E,F, and H of Williamson's Arkansas Infantry Battalion. Reorganized for two years on May 26, 1862. For a time it was stationed at Pocahontas, Arkansas, where at least some of the men were recruited.〔 The field officers were Colonels Solon Borland, Samuel G. Earle, and Amson W. Hobson; Lieutenant Colonels Benjamin F. Danley, James M. Gee, and M. J. Henderson; and Majors William H. Blackwell, J. F. Earle, and David F. Shall.〔 The unit was formed from the following Volunteer companies:〔 * Company A — Dallas County (Princeton Light Horse). * Company B — Perry County (Perry Rangers). * Company C — Saline County (Saline Rifle Rangers). * Company D — Pulaski County (Danley’s Rangers). * 1st Company E — Pope County (transferred from Williamson's Arkansas Infantry Battalion, May 26, 1862). * 2nd Company E — "Border Rangers" of White County and "Crittenden Rangers" of Crittenden County (transferred from 2nd Arkansas Cavalry Regiment, January 1, 1863). * Company F — Hot Spring County (Hot Springs Cavalry). * Company G — Ouachita County (Ouachita Cavalry). * Company H — Ouachita County (Camden Cavalry). * Company I — Conway County (transferred from Williamson's Arkansas Infantry Battalion, May 26, 1862). * Company K — Yell County (transferred from Williamson's Arkansas Infantry Battalion, May 26, 1862). The regiment was armed with weapons which the state confiscated when the Federal Arsenal at Little Rock was seized by Arkanssas State Militia troops in February 1861. Disposition of the weapons found in the Arsenal is somewhat sketchy, but from various records it can be surmised that the 9th and 10th Arkansas, Kelly's 9th Arkansas Battalion, and the 3rd Arkansas Cavalry were issued flintlock Hall's Rifles from the Arsenal.〔Ezell, Tom, "Re: Van Dorn- Army of the Southwest", Arkansas in the Civil War Message Board, Posted 17 December 2001, Accessed 11 June 2012, http://history-sites.com/cgi-bin/bbs53x/arcwmb/arch_config.pl?read=545〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「3rd Arkansas Cavalry Regiment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
