The 3rd USCC was staffed largely by volunteer white officers chosen from the 4th (Illinois) US Cavalry. The 4th Illinois USC often assisted the 5th US Cavalry in guarding General U.S.Grant throughout his war years. The 5th was Grant's own designated cavalry unit. The 1st Mississippi/3rd USCC, was recruited and trained by these Illinois men from black volunteers throughout MS, LA, TN, AR and thereabouts, and probably saw far more actual hairy combat than any other U.S.colored troops. Their exploits in and around Vicksburg and the Western theater have been covered in several books. Andrew and Charles Haynes' double cousin, Lorenzo Haynes, was a Lieutenant, also in Co.K, 3rd USCC, under his cousin Capt. A. Haynes. He (Lorenzo) transferred to the USCC from an Illinois infantry unit.
