Description: "Uncovers the unusual history of the 3rd Minnesota Infantry, a Civil War volunteer regiment whose high levels of discipline, appearance, and precision was often mistaken for a regular army unit. Broken by betrayal and surrender to Nathan Forrest, they returned home to fight Dakota Indians, and again reorganized into a superb regiment fighting rebel guerrillas."--Provided by publisher.
