These thirty-five Union regiments all served at some point in the trans-Mississippi and were taken from the list of "300 Fighting Regiments" created by William F. Fox in his book, Regimental Losses of the American Civil War published in 1898. Certainly there were many other fine regiments that served in the trans-Mississippi, and I'm glad to hear that the 126th Illinois is getting attention.

Part of the skirmish at Clarendon and also Battle of Bayou Forche or Little Rock. Served in Pine Bluff and mouth of the White River. I am currently writing a regimental history of them.<br />Also do not see 3rd Minnesota who was also at Little Rock.<br /><br />Gary Blessman<br />Ancestor of Edwin Grubbs, Co.
