    Post 3rd Maine Infantry Regiment "Kennebec Regiment", Company D [NA]




    History




    The Third Maine Regiment of Infantry was organized for active service May 28, 1861
    and mustered into Union service at Augusta on June 4, 1861 with West Point graduate
    Oliver Howard of Leeds as its Colonel. It was raised in the towns between the
    Androscoggin and Kennebec river valleys as well as along the mid-coast. It went into
    camp at Augusta on the State grounds fronting the capitol building. While in Augusta,
    the 3rd Maine was under constant drill of Sergeant Burt, U.S.A., assisted by Mr. Frank
    Pierce, who was a graduate of the Vermont Military School.
    The 3rd Maine served with the Third Corps from March 1862 until March 1864 and with
    the Second Corps from March 1864 until June 1864. The 3rd Maine was brigaded with
    the 4th Maine (July 1861- March 1864), 38th N.Y. (August 1861-March 1864), 40th N.Y.
    (August 1861-June 1864), 20th Ind. (December 1862-June 1864), 99th Pa. (December
    1862-June 1864), 86th N.Y. (June 1863-June 1864), 124th N.Y. (June 1863-June 1864)
    and with 110th & 141st Pa. (March 1864-June 1864). The Third Maine’s regimental
    strength at various dates was as follows: June 1861, 1016; December 1861, 761;
    November 1862, 462; June 1863, 210; and June 1864, 304.
    In the spring of 1864, the regiment was transferred to Hancock’s Second Corps and
    fought there until the battle of North Anna. After this battle, the regiment’s term of
    service expired and it returned home to be mustered out on June 28, 1864. Just before
    the battle of Cold Harbor on the 3rd of June 1864, the 64 men of the 3rd Maine who
    reenlisted, and the 65 men who were replacement recruits, whose term of service had
    not expired, were transferred to the 17th Maine. These men severed with the 17th
    Maine in the 1st Brig. (De Trobriand’s), 3rd division, II Corps until it was mustered out
    on June 4, 1865.
    Of the 1,586 men who enrolled, 134 were killed, 149 died of disease, and 33 expired
    in confederate prisons. Only about 175 men returned to Maine under the colors of the
    old Third Maine regiment. Oliver Howard and Frank Haskell, received the Medal of
    Honor for their contributions at the battle of Fair Oaks.

    In terms of historically accurate ranks you might want to reconsider my good man.

    Otherwise good luck!
