Saint Augustine Blues
The 3rd Florida Infantry was organized in July, 1861, and mustered into the Confederate service August 10, 1861. The Regiment saw little active service during the first year of its organization, but built sand batteries on Amelia and Tolbert Islands and defences in the eastern part of the state. In May, the entire Regiment for the first time was brought together in camp at Midway, Gadsden County, after which they marched to the Chattahoochee River and went by steamers to Columbus, then by rail to Montgomery; and after a short detention there was sent to Mobile. Early in August of 1862, the Regiment was ordered to Chattanooga and went into camp at the foot of Lookout Mountain, and was assigned to the brigade of General John C Brown of Tennessee. They engaged Federal troops at Perryville, where the 3rd Florida lost heavily. Captain DB Bird, who commanded the Regiment during most of the time after it left Chattanooga, fell mortally wounded.
From Perryville the army fell back until it again reached Chattanooga in December, where the ranks of the 1st and 3rd Regiments were consolidated. They fought at Murffreesborough, Jackson, Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge. They surrendered under General Joseph P Johnston, at Durham Station, April 26, 1865. Roll Company B: (109 individuals) |

Slave PatrolsBeginning in 1839 or earlier, citizen volunteers participated in patrols of Saint Augustine to apprehend all unauthorized slaves or free persons of color who found in the streets after curfew. Patrols were authorized to enter private property and subdue noise or behavior they deemed improper. Infractions of the Patrol Ordinances were reported to the Mayor.
Only a few patrol rosters survive:
