llis father and mother, Moses and Hannah M. ( Rust), are still living and relate many amusing incidents of his youth.
BVT. LIEUT. JACOB B. TUTTLE.
" Fortune favors the brave," indeed, else the sollier here introduced to the reader would not be able to truthfully say that he was in every battle and skirmish of the regi- ment, but was never seriously wounded. At Chancellorsville a bullet glanced from his gun striking his side with sufficient force to penetrate and break all but two or three leaves of a diary in his coat pocket, bend into saucer shape a silver quarter and a copper cent in his wallet that he then carried in a pocket in his shirt, and disabled him for several days.
lle is the fifth of the eight children of JJacob and Martha (Bracket) Tuttle, and was born in Etlingham. August 24, 1839. Two of his three brothers, Hiram O. and Joseph D., were in the New Hampshire Heavy Artillery ; the latter dying in the service from acciden- tal wound. Hiram O. also served three months in a Massachusetts regiment.
Married Hattie C. Hall (deceased), of Franklin, July 6, 1873; and again to Sarah A. Granville, of Detroit, Mich., with whom he is now living. His only child, Fred II., was by his first wife.
He received commissions as first and second lieutenant, and although too late to be mustered in as such, they were none the less nobly earned and richly merited.
No higher praise can or need be given him than what is above written. " In every battle and skirmish of the regiment;" yet we can not forbear to add in conclusion, that from first corporal, when he left the state, to first lieutenant, when he returned, he was always the same true and brave soldier, and that he is one of those whose heroic record should be as lasting as their country's history.
SERGT. WILLIAM WALLACE, JR.
This soblier stands very near the head of the list of those who did the most to give his regiment a name and fame second to none.
In every battle. march, and skirmish, except Capture of Richmond, when he was obliged to yield to disease and go to hospital. Wounded slightly at Cold Harbor by minie ball striking rib on left side and glancing off.
He is of Scotch-Irish and Indian descent and no better fighting blood ever ran in the veins of any bearer of the broad sword, spear, or bow, not excepting the great warrior whose name he bears. He is the oklest of the ten children of William and Julia A. (Starke) Wallace ; one of his five brothers, Charles, was a member of Company I, Sixth New flamp- shire Volunteers, and died at Hatteras Inlet, N. C., February 15, 1862. Born at Went- worth, May 31, 1810.
Married February 7, 1867, to Hannah B., daughter of JJames Burbeck, of Campton. No children.
lle helped save the colors at Cold llarbor and carried them after that until near the end of the war .* lle was at home on a sick furlough when the regiment was discharged, and so much did he think of his brave comrades and the old battle flag that he had carried so long, that despite the protest of his physician, and the earnest entreaties of his relatives and friends to heed his advice, he arose from a sick bed, and rode in carriage and cars, thirty or forty miles to meet and greet them upon their arrival in Concord.
Occupation, a farmer. The picture of him is from one taken purposely for this history, twenty-five years or more after the war.

SERGT. CHIARLES A. WARREN.
Youngest son of George W. and Mary F. (Allard) Warren, and born in Wolfeborough, August 15, 1835. His great-grandfather, George Warren, who was the uncle of Gen. Joseph Warren, was a major musician in the Revolution and served through the whole war.
Married February 6, 1856, to Sarah A., daughter of Jeremiah Young, of Wolfeborough, who was a member of the Fifth New Hampshire and wounded at Fair Oaks. Children, George B. and Charles F.
In the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Siege of Petersburg, and also Bermuda Hundred, where he was taken prisoner and confined in Libby prison until exchanged (see roster). At Gettysburg he was one of the color guard and wounded in left leg.
This soldier was a descendent of a very distinguished and patriotic ancestry, and his own good service, for nearly three years for his country, on some of the bloodiest battle- fields of the Rebellion, has shown that the same heroic blood flows in his veins.
JOIIN A. WIGGIN.
And still they come ; for here you see the face of another who deserves recognition by the survivors of the "dirty dozen." He is a good " boy" still, though February 24, 1898, will be the last day of three score years since his birth. He is a double-twisted lineal thread, for he is the only child of Thomas J. and Susan P. (Wiggin) Wiggin, both of Tufton- borough.
Married Abby, daughter of Stephen Bickford, of Ossipee, August 22, 1858. Children, Augusta MI., Ralph II., Carrie G., Susan A., and Frank, the three last named now living. Occupation, a farmer.
In Chancellorsville, Swift Creek, Relay House, Drury's Bluff, Port Walthall, Cold Har- bor, not in charge, and part of Siege of Petersburg. Wounded twice at Chancellorsville, by pistol shot and minie ball, at about the same time and in nearly the same place on his left arm. Severely wounded in the left shoulder at Siege of Petersburg, disabling him from further service in support of the cause that he had so long and bravely defended.
" Always willing and ready," says one of his comrades, referring to his conduct as a soldier, and the same can be truthfully said of him concerning deeds of kindness and hospitality, by his neighbors and acquaintances.
LEVI HI. WIGGIN.
The first born and only son of Woodbury L. and Mary W. (Hersey) Wiggin, who had four daughters. Enlisted on his nineteenth birthday, August IS, 1862. As may be said of a great majority of the original members of the regiment, he was the son of a farmer and brought up to till the soil.
In the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Wapping Heights. Not wounded but had his blanket roll cut half in two upon his shoulder by pistol shot at Fredericksburg. Discharged by reason of sickness at Hamilton hospital, Fortress Monroe, Va.
Married Anna M. Jewell, of Clinton, Mass., March 17, 1872. Children, Evalina J., Clara A., Pearley H. W., and Warren.
Carpenter since the war, and resident, most of the time, of Clinton and Worcester (present address), Mass. There are no dark lines in his record as a soldier or citizen.

History of the Twelfth Regiment
WINSOR P. HUNTRESS. COMPANY B.
This noble youth, the tallest man in his company, was one of eight children (four boys). of Noah C. and Sally (Gowen) Huntress, and was born in Barnstead, April 26, 1841.
He fought at the battle of Fredericksburg, and was killed at Chancellorsville, being shot through the head .*
Ilis mother who greatly lamented his death always spoke of him as a good and duti- ful son. Another son by the name of Henry was also in the service. Both brother and mother deceased recently.
GEORGE II. FOWLER.
The oldest and only son, now living, of Dr. Fowler, for whom he acted as private. orderly in the war, in which he served as such for two and one half years.
Ile was fourteen years of age when he went out with his father. Now a resident apothecary of Bristol. lle was the adopted son of the regiment.
WOODBURY SANBORN.
Although not an enlisted man, he was, unlike sutlers generally, so pleasantly identified from first to last with the regiment and personally with its membership, he certainly deserves a place among the boys he so long served. By his interest in their welfare he endeared himself to them all.t
lle was born in Gilford, December 20, 1822, and died at Chelsea, Mass., June 8, 1888.
Was the son of Josephi and Ruth (Carter) Sanborn, and married at Nottingham to. Eliza W. Bartlett, December 13. 1844. His children were Charles C. and Marcellus B ._ Their mother died December 24. 1893.

From the following facts, in addition to what has already been written, the reader may get a better idea of what the Twelfth suffered at Chancellorsville.
As is generally known, the Third Corps in this battle received, and for a long time withstood, the heaviest shocks of the rebel army in Lee's and Jackson's combined efforts to defeat Hooker ; and that its losses were nearly double those of any other corps and more than one third that of the whole army. Yet, of the whole number of the killed and wounded, the Twelfth Regiment, alone, lost more than either of them, and nearly as many as any one of five, of the nine brigades in the corps, though
( Fredericksburg, 57 )
Fort Wagner, 77 )

New Hampshire Volunteers.
most of them contained five and six regiments each ; while in its own brigade, which suffered greater loss than any other, but one, in the whole corps, it had within two of four times as many killed and wounded as one of the other two regiments, and one more than eleven times as many as the other, or lacking but seven of three times as many as both together.
The foregoing statements and comparisons are taken from the records of the War Department at Washington, as lately revised and corrected for publication, and does not take into consideration the fifty or more of the Twelfth who were slightly wounded - some of them severely - of whom no report was ever made.
"THE NEW HAMPSHIRE MOUNTAINEERS."
As this regiment was sometimes called,* were remarkable for their size. and height, the average height being over five feet and eight inches, or more exactly. 68.633+ inches. Of one hundred men, eight were six feet and two inches : five lacked only one fourth of an inch of being six feet two inches ; twenty-eight ranged from six feet and one half an inch to six feet one and three fourths inches, and sixty more were just six feet each.
* See page 21, Chapter II.
ADDENDA AND ERRATA.
Additional facts about many members of Company F. and concerning Rev. Joseph Harvey, of Pittsfield, who was greatly interested in their welfare and was the means of saving the lives of several of them, can be found in Robinson's " History of Pittsfield, N. H., in the Great Rebellion."
