CONFEDERATE TEXAS TROOPS

3rd Regiment, Texas Infantry

3rd Infantry Regiment completed its organization during the fall of 1861. Some of its members were recruited at Austin and San Antonio. It served along the Texas coast at various points and in October, 1862, totalled 648 effectives. Because the regiment never saw any action, during the latter part of the war morale deteriorated. It disbanded before the Trans-Mississippi Department surrendered in June, 1865. The field officers were Colonel Philip N. Luckett, Lieutenant Colonels Augustus Buchel and Edward F. Gray, and Major John H. Kampmann.

Thanks,
Gary D. Bray
