Default Finding the latest date represented in a group of cells

I have a worksheet that has 3 columns of dates represented. I am trying to
write a formula to give me the latest of those three dates. I have been
trying the IF formula with two calculcations and I think I am missing
something.

Latest meaning most recent?

=MAX(A1:C1)

Latest meaning oldest?

=MIN(A1:C1)
