The Third Arkansas Cavalry was organized in October 1863 at Little Rock, becoming one of four Union cavalry regiments raised in Arkansas during the Civil War. Led by Col. Abraham Ryan, the Third Arkansas was vital for securing the state for the Union, especially along some of the lawless stretches of the Arkansas River Valley.
