CIVIL WAR VETERAN
Co B. 3rd Mich. Cav.
Worden, Joseph B.(Veteran) Residence Ingham Co, Mich. Enlisted in company B. Third Cavalry, Mar. 9, 1862, at Jackson, Mich., for 3 years, age 33. Mustered Sept. 3, 1862. Joined regiment at Corinth,Miss.,Sept. 7, 1862. Promoted to full Corporal. Re-enlisted Jan. 19, 1864, at La Grange, Tenn. Mustered Jan. 27, 1864. Discharged at Baton Rouge, La., June 2, 1865.
One of its hardest fought battles was that of Corinth,Miss., October 3 and 4, 1862. For several days some portions of the regiment were in the saddle without intermission day and night. On the retreat of the rebels south the Third Cavalry were constantly on their flanks and rear, capturing many prisoners. This pursuit extended over 75 miles into the heart of Mississippi.
A comprehensive history of a cavalry regiment can only be written by recording its daily movements. When not moving with its brigade it is often sent on dangerous and important missions far from its support, and has to depend upon the officer in command for a successful termination, and frequently he finds most exacting and trying conditions confronting him.
In January, 1864, the Third, was at La Grange,Tenn.,where the regiment re-enlisted and was sent to Michigan on veteran furlough. The reputation it had attained drew a large number of recruits to its ranks at this time, and at the termination of the 30-day furlough the regiment reassembled at Kalamazoo and again, under command of Colonel Mizner, returned to St. Louis, Mo., where, in May, 1864, it was sent to Little Rock, Ark., and was soon engaged in scouting and driving General Shelby and the confederates he commanded beyond the Arkansas River.
From November, 1864, to February, 1865, the headquarters of the Third were at Brownsville Station, Ark., and many marches and scouts were made in the surrounding country, securing large supplies for the Union army, thus immeasurably crippling the confederates, whose resources were constantly being curtailed.
Information taken from Michigan Volunteers in the Civil War 1861-1865.
1900 US Census: Joseph is widowed and was living in Vevay Twp, Ingham, Michigan with son Emerson.
