Categories: Battle of Shiloh | Tennessee, United States Civil War | Confederate Army Regiments, United States Civil War | Battle of Perryville

3rd Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry (Forrest's) was organized at Memphis, Tennessee, in October, 1861, as an eight-company battalion. In January, 1862, it was increased to regimental size. The history of this unit is very complex because over twenty companies from Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana were attached to it at one time or another.

It confronted the Federals in Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Alabama, and surrendered in May, 1865.

Officers: Colonels Nathan B Forrest and David C Kelley; Lieutenant Colonels P T Allin, Robert M Balch, and Edward E Porter; and Majors James C Blanton, William H Forrest, Charles McDonald, and Edwin A Spotswood.
