TWELFTH MICHIGAN INFANTRY
We're fighting for the Union, We're fighting for the trust, We're fighting for the land Where sleeps our fathers' dust.
The Twelfth Michigan Infantry was organized at Niles by Col- onel Francis Quinn of that city, and was mustered into service March 5, 1862, with an enrolment of 1,000 officers and men.
The regiment left the state, March 18th, going to St. Louis, Missouri, where it embarked for Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, joining General Prentiss' division of the Army of the Tennessee commanded by General U. S. Grant. The regiment, with others newly organized and wholly without any military experience, was pushed to the front, and on Sunday morning, April 6th, only one month after its organization, received its first baptism of blood in the attack made by the Confederate forces under the command of General Albert Sidney Johnston, in which that brilliant officer lost his life, being succeeded by General Beauregard.
The troops lay upon their arms during the night, and before morning General Buell's army arrived, when the battle was re- sumed Monday, culminating in driving General Beauregard and his troops from the field. The losses of the Twelfth in this en- gagement were serious.
The regiment during the rest of the year occupied stations at Bolivar, Tennessee, Iuka, Mississippi, and Metamora, and from November, 1862, to May, 1863, was guarding the Mississippi Cen- tral Railroad, with headquarters at Middleburg, Tennessee.
At this place in December a detachment of the regiment was besieged in a block house which was gallantly defended against an attack by General Van Dorn's forces, estimated at 3,000 strong.
Colonel Graves refused to surrender and succeeded after an engagement of two hours and a half with the assistance of a de- tachment of the Third Michigan Cavalry that came to his relief, in driving off the Confederate forces. The command was compli- mented by General Grant in General Orders for this brilliant work. The regiment was ordered to Vicksburg, Mississippi, in June, 1863, where it took post at Haynes' Bluff and remained until the fall of Vicksburg.
In July, 1863, the Twelfth comprised a part of the force under General Steele, when he invested Little Rock, Arkansas. At this point the regiment veteranized, 334 reenlisting, and in January, 1864, started for Michigan on veteran furlough. After the expi-
189

ration of the thirty days' furlough, the Twelfth reassembled at Niles and returned to Little Rock, Arkansas, where it arrived April 1st. The regiment was engaged in long marches and fre- quent skirmishes with the enemy, and in doing picket and guard duty until October, when it arrived at De Vall's Bluff, Arkansas.
The regiment was then separated into detachments, the different companies occupying posts wherever their services were needed until January, 1866, when the detachments were ordered to as- semble at Camden, where the regiment was mustered out of ser- vice February 15, 1866.
The Twelfth started at once for Michigan, arrived at Jackson the 27th, and was paid off and disbanded the 6th of March.
The Twelfth was engaged with the enemy at Pittsburg Land- ing, Tennessee, April 6, 7, 1862; Iuka, Mississippi, September 19, 1862; Metamora, Tennessee, October 5, 1862; Middleburg, Tennes- see, December 24, 1862; Mechanicsville, Mississippi, June 4, 1863; siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi, June and July, 1863; siege of Little Rock, Arkansas, August and September, 1863; Clarendon, Arkansas, June 26, 1864; Gregory's Landing, September 4, 1864.
Total enrolment, 2357; killed in action, 29; died of wounds, 26; died in confederate prisons, 17; died of disease, 316; discharged for disability (wounds and disease), 221.
