Lynn,

Bob answered your question about Alva Pittman's enlistment in Co. I, 3rd U.S. Volunteer Infantry, so all I can add is the date of his enlistment, which was October 31, 1864, at Rock Island Barracks, Illinois. Here's a brief summary of the regiment's service --

Organized at Rock Island Barracks, Illinois, October, 1864. Ordered to the Department of Missouri, arriving at Fort Kearney, Nebraska, April 9, 1865, and assigned to duty in the District of Nebraska and Colorado. Stationed by companies. A and B at Fort Kearney, E and F at Fort Rankin, G and H at Julesburg Junction, Colorado, and C and D at Cottonwood protecting overland mail routes from Indian attacks. Skirmish at Elm Creek May 20, 1865. Mustered out November 29, 1865.
