"The 3rd Missouri Volunteers evolved from one of several unofficial pro-Unionist militia units formed semi-secretly in St. Louis in the early months of 1861 by Congressman Francis Preston Blair, Jr. and other Unionist (United States) activists. The organization that would become the Third Missouri was largely composed of ethnic Germans, who were generally opposed to slavery and strongly supportive of the Unionist cause. Although initially without any official standing, beginning on April 22, 1861, four militia regiments Blair helped organize were sworn into Federal service at the St. Louis Arsenal by Captain John Schofield acting on the authority of President Lincoln.[2][3]
Upon entry into federal service, the members of the new Third Missouri elected Franz Sigel colonel of the regiment.[4] The new Missouri Volunteer regiments, subsequently elected (then) Captain Nathaniel Lyon as the brigadier general of the new brigade of Missouri volunteers. President Lincoln would later confirm Lyon's promotion from Captain to Brigadier general.
The regiment, composed almost completely of ethnic Germans, was unusually large, with ten infantry companies and two rifle companies."

Nichod has also arrived from the same place with nearly 1,000 head. These cattle are brought here to feed on alfalfa during the winter, to prepare them for market."
