TWELFTH INFANTRY.
The Twelfth Regiment was recruited late in the Sum- mer of 1861, and organized at Camp Union, Dubuque, lowa, and mustered into the service of the United States November 25, 1861, by Capt. Washington, Thirteenth United States Infantry.
The first active service in which the regiment was en- gaged was at Fort Donelson, where it was assigned to Cook's Brigade of Smith's Division, and was engaged in the battles of the 13th, 14th and 15th of February, which resulted in the capture of the Fort and its garrison on the 16th, the enemy surrendering themselves prisoners of war. During most of the time, the boys were exposed to a cold rain and sleet, and, not being permitted to have any fire, suffered very much from cold.
At Shiloh, the Twelfth was brigaded with the Second, Seventh and Fourteenth Iowa regiments, called the Iowa Brigade, commanded by Gen. Tuttle, Second Iowa In- fantry, Gen. W. H. Wallace commanding the Division, and were in position near a field beyond Gen. Hurlbut's headquarters. IIere it remained in line of battle from G o'clock A. M. until abont 4 P. M., during which time the enemy made several bold charges, and was repulsed with great loss in killed and wounded.
The Twelfth and Fourteenth being in support of a bat- tery, and having no orders to fall back, and not having notice that the left had given way, were allowed to be surrounded, and, after several hours' desperate fighting, in which three or four regiments contended against the whole rebel force, the Twelfth having its commanding officer, Col. Woods, severely wounded, with sixteen men killed and ninety-seven wounded, with all hopes of retreat or succor cut off, was obliged to surrender at 6 o'clock P. MI. Number of men captured from the regiment, about 400.
The men of the Eighth, Twelfth and Fourteenth Iowa Regiments who were not captured, were organized into a regiment called the " Union Brigade," of which regi- ment the Twelfth formed Companies E and K.
The Union Brigade was engaged and took a very prom- inent part in the battle of Corinth, October 3d and 4th, 1862, the Twelfth Iowa losing three killed and twenty- five wounded out of eighty men engaged. After pursuing the enemy as far as Ripley, Miss., the regiment returned to Corinth, where it was engaged in building fortifica- tions, until December 18, 1862, when orders were received from the War Department discontinuing the organiza- tion known as the Union Brigade, and ordering the men of the Eighth, Twelfth and Fourteenth Iowa to proceed to Davenport, Iowa, to reorganize their regiments, prisoners having been paroled October 18, 1862, and exchanged November 10, 1862.
The detachment of the Twelfth Iowa arrived at Jack- son, Tenn., where it was found that Forrest had destroyed the railroad from Uniontown and was threatening Jack- son. The detachment was at once ordered to the defense of the place, and remained four days, when it was ordered to open the railroad to Columinis, Ky., which delayed the detachment until the 4th of January. It arrived at Co- lumbus on that day and was ordered once more to Daven- port, where it arrived on the 7th of January, 1863, and from there it was ordered, on the 27th of March, to pro- ceed to St. Louis, Mo., there to rejoin the regiment; and as soon as organized was ordered to report to Gen. Grant
In the field, near Vicksburg, Miss., and served during the entire siege, participating in all the principal engage- ments until the 22d of June, when it was sent to Black River, to guard the rear from an attack by Johnston. Vicksburg surrendered July 4th.
The Twelfth was engaged in the battle near Tupelo, Miss., on 13th, 14th and 15th of July, '64, losing nine men killed, fifty-four wounded and one missing, out of 200 engaged.
In June, 1861, Companies A and F, numbering fifty-five men, under command of Capt. J. R. C. Hunter, and Com- pany A, while stationed at the month of White River, Ark., were attacked by 600 rebels of Marmaduke's com- mand, about daylight on the 22d of June; but taking refuge behind a slight stockade, they repulsed the enemy, he leaving twenty killed and mortally wounded on the field. The loss of Companies A and Fwasone killed and four wounded.
The regiment fought bravely in the battle of Nashville, and received special mention by brigade and division commanders for good service.
The regiment marched in pursuit of Ilood, with the army, to Clinton, on the Tennessee River, thence by steamer to Eastport, Miss., arriving there on the 7th of January, 1865.
From Eastport, the regiment was ordered to New Or leans, then embarked with the forces under Gen. Canby, on the expedition against Mobile; was in the front line during the siege of Spanish Fort, which was the last sery- ice rendered by the regiment.
During its service, the gallant Twelfth was in twenty three battles, was under fire 112 days, and had ninety-five men killed in battle.

THE THIRTEENTH INFANTRY
Was recruited under the President's proclamation of July 22, 1861, and ordered to rendezvous at Camp MeClellan, near Davenport, where the regiment was filled up, com- pletely organized and mustered into service Nov. 2, 1861. The mustering officer, Capt. Chambers, rejected a few men, but when it entered the service there were 899 names on its rolls. The number was soon increased by enlistments to 989. Maj. Marcellus M. Crocker, of the Second Regiment, was commissioned Colonel of the Thir-

teenth. Milton M. Price was Lieutenant Colonel, and John Shane, Major.
Soon after organization, having been supplied with clothing, the regiment was ordered to Benton Barracks, Mo., where it remained from November 20th to Decem- ber 11th, when it was ordered to report to Gen. Pope, and was assigned to garrison duty at Jefferson City, where it remained during the Winter. The time was improved to the utmost by Col. Crocker and his command. Schools of Instruction were instituted for the officers, and regular drills for the men. Several hours each day were spent in obtaining a thorough knowledge of their duties, and every officer and private labored diligently to obtain pro- ficiency in the art of war, that they might be ready for efficient service when called upon.
In March, Col. Crocker received orders to report to Gen. Grant; and on the 8th of that month, 1862, the reg- iment left, by railroad, for St. Louis, where it embarked for Pittsburg Landing, arriving on the 23d. Col. Crocker re- ported to Gen. McClernand, commanding First Division, and with the Eleventh Iowa and Eighth and Eighteenth Illinois, constituted the First Brigade, under Col. Richard Oglesby. At Shiloh, on the first day, it was under fire for ten consecutive honrs, and gallantly sustained the reputation of Iowa troops, On that day, Lieut. ('ol, Price and Major Shane were wounded, and the regiment lost 24 killed, 139 wounded and 9 missing. A few days after the battle of Shiloh the army was reorganized, and the Thirteenth was placed in the Sixth Division, and attached to the Third Brigade, composed of the Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa Regiments, Col. M. M. Crocker commanding, soon becoming known as the "Iowa Brigade." About this time, Lieut. Col. Price resigned, Maj. Shane was promoted to be Lieutenant Colonel, and Capt. G. M. Van Hosen became Major. The command participated in the siege of Corinth, and became a part of the garrison at that place when evacuated by the rebel forces.
After remaining at Corinth two months, the regiment marched to Bolivar, Tenn., to look after the enemy, but returned to Corinth September 12th.
Its next movement was under Gen. Ord, in a march on Inka, and returned to Corinth about the Ist of October, where it was engaged on the 3d and 4th; but although under heavy artillery fire for some time, its losses were light. On Sunday morning, October 5th, the command joined in pursuit of the rebels, which was continued to Ripley. On its return, the regiment reached Corinth October 11th, where it remained three weeks, when it joined in the campaign, under Gen. Grant, against Vicks- burg, via Holly Springs and Granada. It reached " Yo- cana " Creek, when, Holly Springs having been lost, the army countermarched to the frontier of Tennessee, and arrived at Memphis Jan. 13, 1863. On the 20th, it em- barked on steamers, moving down the river to Duckport, La .; but, without disembarking, returned to Milliken's Bend, where it remained a fortnight. It then moved to Providence and went into camp for two months, working much of the time on the Lake Providence Canal. While here the army was reorganized. and the Thirteenth became a part of the First Division, Seventeenth Corps, observation, Gen. McPherson commanding, Shortly after, Col. Crocker was promoted to be a Brigadier General, when Lieut. Col. Shane was commissioned Colonel of the regiment.
During most of the campaign at Vicksburg, the Iowa Brigade performed much extra service, involving hard labor and calling for tough marching qualities, and ac- quired the sobriequet of "Crocker's Grayhounds." It was a part of Sherman's army of observation, and July 4 1863, when Vicksburg was being surrendered to Grant's victorious army, the Thirteenth was skirmishing with Johnston's rebels, at Big Black River.
In August, it was engaged with a portion of the navy in wrecking and dismantling gunboats that had been sunk by rebel torpedoes in Yazoo River. It also par- ticipated in a campaign against Monroe, La., under Gen. Stevenson. September 3d, it went into quarters at Vicks- burg, where it remained four months. From February 4 to March 4, 1864, it was with the forces nnder Gen. Sher- man in the famous raid on Meridian. On its return from this raid, most of the men having re-enlisted, it was declared a veteran organization, and officers and men were given " thirty days in their own State," and were homeward bound on the 7th of March.
April 16th, they were off to the wars again, arriving at Huntsville, Ala., May 20th, thence to Ackworth, Ga,, joining Sherman's army on the 8th of June. Its first battle in the Atlanta campaign was at Kenesaw Moun- tain, and was almost continuously under fire until July
20th, when it took position before Atlanta, three miles away. On the 21st, the Iowa Brigade, under Col. Shane, lost 226 men in twenty-seven minutes, in a splendid assault on a rebel fort. Again engaged on the 22d, and suffered severely. On the 28th, gallantly fought, having been ordered to reinforce a portion of the line hard pressed by the enemy.
It participated in Sherman's famous march to the sea, and a portion of the regiment, under Lieut. Col. Kennedy, entered Columbia and hoisted the Stars and Stripes on the rebel capitol.
The Thirteenth, after a long and honorable career, was mustered out, paid off and disbanded at Davenport, lowa, July 28 and 29, 1865.
