There were four formations in the Union Army designated as III Corps (or Third Army Corps) during the American Civil War. Three were short-lived: *In the Army of Virginia: * *Irvin McDowell (June 26, 1862 – September 5, 1862); * *James B. Ricketts (September 5, 1862 – September 6, 1862); * *Joseph Hooker (September 6, 1862 – September 12, 1862) *In the Army of the Ohio: * *Charles C. Gilbert (September 29, 1862 – October 24, 1862) *In the Army of the Cumberland: * *Charles C. Gilbert (October 24, 1862 – November 5, 1862) The other, the III Corps, Army of the Potomac (March 13, 1862 – March 24, 1864), is the subject of this article. ==Corps history== The III Corps included in its organization the famous Kearny Division; also, Hooker's Division, the Excelsior Brigade, the Second Jersey Brigade, and other well known commands. Its brilliant record is closely interwoven with the history of the Virginia campaigns of 1862–1863, in which it fought during two eventful years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「III Corps (Union Army)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
