| The Third New Jersey Cavalry |
This site is to honor the Civil War
veterans who fought in the 3rd New
Jersey Cavalry.
My fascination with the Civil War
began when I uncovered that I had
several ancestors who served in the
war. Trying to understand their lifes
and times has lead me to a deep
gratitude and appreciation for the
decisions they made, hardships they
endured, and commitments they kept.
Please help me build this site as a
tribute to those men and their
families.

flamboyant uniforms." -- Guttman
