THIRD REGIMENT INFANTRY.
THE Third
Connecticut Regiment Infantry (8 montsh), the numerical strength of which
was seven hundred and eighty (780) men, left Hartford for Washington, May
25th, 1861. They were armed with United States smooth-bore muskets.
Colonel John Arnold, long a prominent officer in the State Militia,
and instructor in a number of military schools, was placed in command.
He tendered his resignation, on account of ill-health, May 29, 1861, and
was honorably discharged. Colonel John L. Chatfield, his
successor, acquired his military education in the State Militia. He
was a strict disciplinarian, and much beloved by the officers and men
composing his command. This regiment was at the battle of Bull Run,
and behaved with the steadiness and gallantry of veterans. The
regiment was mustered out of service at Hartford on the 12th day August,
1861.
