HISTORICAL SKETCH
TWELFTH REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
The ten companies composing the Twelfth Regiment of Iowa Volunteer Infantry were ordered
into quarters by Governor Kirkwood on dates ranging from Sept. 14 to Oct. 10, 1861, under the
proclamation of President Lincoln bearing date July 23, 1861. The companies were mustered
into the service of the United States by Capt. E. C. Washington, United States Army, at
Dubuque, Iowa, on dates ranging from Oct. 17 to Nov. 25, l861. The total enrollment at muster
in was 981, rank and file.
Only three days after the last company was mustered, the regiment left Camp Union, near
Dubuque, and proceeded by railroad to St. Louis, Mo. Upon its arrival there it marched at once
to Benton Barracks, where troops were being concentrated and instructed in company and
battalion drill and the other duties of the soldier, in order that they might be prepared to take the
field against the enemy at the earliest possible date. This period of preparation was utilized to the
utmost advantage. The regiment remained in this huge camp of instruction until Jan. 27, 1862. It
had gained much in the knowledge of the manual of arms and the military movements that would
be necessary when it came into contact with the enemy. It was now about to enter upon a
campaign which would put to the test the courage and fortitude of its officers and men, and in
which it was to learn its first severe lessons in actual warfare.
The regiment was ordered to proceed to Cairo, Ill., where it received orders from General
Grant and embarked on steamers which landed at the mouth of the Cumberland river, and here
the regiment made its first encampment in the field, Jan. 31, 1862. On the 5th of February it
again embarked and was conveyed, by way of Paducah, Ky., to a point four miles below Fort
Henry, where it landed and joined the force which was to co-operate with the gunboats, under
Commodore Foote, in an attack upon the fort. Owing to the almost impassable condition of the
roads, the troops did not arrive until the gunboats had compelled the evacuation of the fort and
secured possession of it.
On the 12th of February, the regiment was assigned to Cook's brigade of Smith's division and
ordered to Fort Donelson, where it arrived the same day and became part of the investing force.
Its first position was to the left of the Dover road, where it lay in line of battle during the night,
ready for action. During the three days' siege which followed, and which ended in the surrender
of the fort and its garrison, the Twelfth Iowa rendered most important and efficient service. It
was on the afternoon of February 15th that the regiment suffered its greatest loss, while
supporting the charge of Colonel Lauman's brigade. Col. J. J. Woods was in command of the
regiment and wrote the official report of its conduct, in which he makes special mention of the
bravery and efficiency of Lieutenant Colonel Coulter, Major Brodtbeck, Adjutant Duncan,
Lieutenant Dorr, Surgeon Parker and Assistant Surgeon Finley, Sergeant Major Morrisey and
Color Bearer Sergeant Grannis. The Colonel concludes his report as follows: "Without further
particularizing, every commissioned officer of the regiment performed his duties without
flinching. The same may be said of the non-commissioned officers and privates, with but few
exceptions."
The regiment remained at Fort Donelson, occupying the quarters built by the rebel soldiers,
until March 12, 1862, when it marched to Metal Landing on the Tennessee river, where it
embarked on steamers and was conveyed to Pittsburg
Landing. There it landed on the 21st of
2
March and was assigned to a brigade composed of the Second, Seventh, Twelfth and Fourteenth
regiments of Iowa Infantry, commanded by Col. J. AI. Tuttle of the Second Iowa. This was the
First Brigade of the Second Division, commanded by Gen. W. H L. Wallace, a division which
was destined to save the day for the Union army on Sunday, the 6th of April, 1862.
The compiler of this historical sketch has a just appreciation of the subsequent splendid
record of service of the Twelfth Iowa Infantry, and regrets that the limitation to which he is
subjected will not permit a detailed history of all its operations, but he feels that the importance
of its service at Shiloh requires a greater amount of space than can be devoted to any of the
battles in which it was afterwards engaged. Col. J. J. Woods, who commanded the regiment, and
who was severely wounded, gives a detailed account of its operations, over his signature, which
is not in the form of an official report and which is not dated, but which substantially agrees with
the official report of Col. J. M. Tuttle, who commanded the brigade. This account is here quoted
in full, as follows:
On the morning of April 6, 1862, the rebels having attacked our advanced lines at Shiloh
Tenn., the Twelfth Iowa Infantry Volunteers was rapidly formed and joined the other regiments--
Second, Seventh and Fourteenth of the Iowa Brigade, being of the First Brigade, under Brigadier
General Tuttle, of the Second Division under General Wallace. The brigade was marched to near
the field beyond General Hurlbut's headquarters, and formed in line of battle, the Second and
Seventh on our right the Fourteenth on our left. The Eighth Iowa of Prentiss' division was on the
left of the Fourteenth, forming an angle to the rear with our line. An open field lay in front of our
right. Dense timber covered our left. A small ravine was immediately behind us. In this position
we awaited the approach of the enemy. Soon he made a bold attack on us, but met with a warm
reception, and we soon repulsed him. Again and again did he attack us, trying vainly to drive us
from our position. He failed to move us one inch from our position. On the contrary, we repulsed
every attack of the enemy and drove him back in confusion. Thus matters stood in our front until
about 4 o'clock P. M., at which time it became evident, by the firing on our left, that the enemy
was getting in our rear. An Aid-de-Camp rode up and directed me to face to the rear and fall
back, stating, in answer to my inquiry, that I would receive orders as to the position I was to
occupy. No such orders reached me, and I suppose could not.
* The loss of the regiment at Donelson was two killed and twenty-eight wounded. See list, Page
440-41 report of Adjutant General of Iowa for year 1864.
Report of Adjutant General of Iowa for year 1863, Vol. 2, Page 796.
The Second and Seventh Iowa had already gone to the rear, and, on reaching the high ground
between our position and General Hurlbut's headquarters, we discovered that we were already
surrounded by the enemy, caused by no fault of our own, but by the troops at a distance from us,
on our right and left, giving way before the enemy. Seeing ourselves surrounded, we
nevertheless opened a brisk fire on that portion of the enemy who blocked our passage to the
landing, who, after briskly returning our fire for a short time, fell back. A brisk fire from the
enemy on our left (previous right) was going on at the same time. Seeing the enemy in front
falling back, we attempted by a rapid movement to cut our way through, but the enemy on our
left advanced rapidly, coming in behind us, pouring into our ranks a most destructive fire. The
enemy in front faced about and opened on us at short range, the enemy in our rear still closing in
on us rapidly. I received two wounds, disabling me from further duty. The command then
devolved on Captain Edgington, acting as field officer. The enemy had, however, already so
closely surrounded us that their balls which missed our
men took effect in their ranks beyond us.
3
To have held out longer would have been to suffer complete annihilation. The regiment was
therefore compelled to surrender as prisoners of war. Lieutenant Colonel Coulter was much
reduced by chronic diarrhoea, and Major Brodtbeck was suffering from rheumatism. Being
myself the only field officer on duty, at my request Captain Edgington acted as a field officer,
the duties of which he performed in an able and efficient manner. Quartermaster Dorr, though his
position did not require him to go into action, volunteered to do so, and throughout the day
behaved in a brave and gallant manner, daringly, if not recklessly, exposing his person to the
enemy. He made himself very useful in carrying messages and spying out the positions and
movements of the enemy, and firing on them as occasion offered; energetic and efficient in his
own department, he would fill a higher one with credit to himself and honor to the service.
Adjutant Duncan proved himself on this, as on all occasions, a faithful and efficient officer.
Captains Earle, Warner, Stibbs, Haddock, Van Duzee and Townsley performed well their part,
as did all the Lieutenants in the action, in a prompt and willing manner. The non-commissioned
officers and men stood bravely up to their work, and never did men behave better. In the death of
Lieutenant Ferguson, of company D, the regiment lost one of its best drilled officers and a
gallant soldier. It also lost a good man and good officer in the death of Lieutenant Moir of
company A.
J. J. WOODS,
Colonel Twelfth Iowa Volunteers.
Colonel Woods does not give a list of the killed, wounded and captured, the aggregate loss of
the regiment, in the battle of Shiloh, but, in his outline history of its organization and operations,
Maj. Samuel G. Knee* states that at the time of its surrender it had lost 16 men killed and 97
wounded, and that about 400 were captured. The official tabulated statement of losses gives the
aggregate loss of the Twelfth Iowa at Shiloh as 479.t A foot note to this return states: "A number
of the captured and missing were also wounded." The statement of Major Knee may therefore be
considered as a close approximation to the actual number of killed and wounded,
notwithstanding its variance from the tabulated return, increasing the aggregate loss of the
regiment to 513. It is no disparagement to any one of the other eight Iowa regiments that
participated in the historic battle of Shiloh to say that the service rendered by the Eighth, Twelfth
and Fourteenth, which stemmed the tide of battle at the front, with the victorious enemy on both
flanks pushing the remainder of General Grant's army to its last line of resistance, was of
transcendent importance in deciding the fortune of that first day's battle.

Adjutant General's Report 1865, Vol. 2, Page 1077, and report of Colonel Coulter
Commanding Union Brigade.
Soon after the battle the remnants of the Eighth, Twelfth and Fourteenth Iowa, and Fiftyeighth
Illinois, consisting of those who had escaped capture, together with the slightly wounded,
those who had been on furlough and detached service at the time of the battle, and the
convalescents returned from hospital, were consolidated into an organization which was
designated as the "Union Brigade," although it numbered but 478, rank and file, when
organized, and its maximum strength—Oct. 1, 1862—was but 631. The Twelfth Iowa had an
aggregate of only 76—3 commissioned officers and 72 enlisted men—when it was assigned to
the "Union Brigade." This detachment of the
Twelfth was under the command of the gallant
4
Lieut. D. B. Henderson, and rendered efficient service during the advance upon and siege of
Corinth. Its most conspicuous service was in the battle of Corinth, Oct. 3-4, 1862, where it
sustained a loss of 39 killed, wounded and missing out of 80 men engaged. Among the wounded
at Corinth were Lieut. D. B. Henderson, who lost his left leg, Capt. Allen E. Webb and Lieut. J.
R. C. Hunter. During a considerable part of the time that the "Union Brigade" was maintained it
was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Coulter of the Twelfth Iowa, who was also wounded at
Corinth, but was sufficiently recovered to resume command on the 11th of December, 1862 and,
few days later, received the following order:
Special Orders, No. 62.
Headquarters Division of Corinth, Corinth, Miss., Dec. 17, 1862.
The formation known as the Union Brigade is hereby dissolved. The Eighth, Twelfth, and
Fourteenth Iowa Infantry will proceed to Iowa tomorrow, the 18th inst., under the charge and
command of Lieutenant Colonel Coulter, and report to Adjutant General N. B. Baker, of Iowa,
for re-organization. *
* See Historical Sketch or the operations of the "Union Brigade."
By order of G. M. Dodge, Brig. Gen'l.
L. H. EVARTS, A. A. Gen'l.
In compliance with this order, the officers and men belonging to the designated detachments
started for Iowa, but the rebel General Forrest, with his cavalry command, had partially
destroyed a portion of the line of railroad over which they were to pass, the repairing of which
consumed so much time that they did not reach Davenport until Jan. 7, 1863. In the meantime,
about half of the Twelfth Iowa who had been captured at Shiloh were paroled and sent to Benton
Barracks, St. Louis, Mo., there to await exchange. The rest remained in prison during the
summer and fall. Many died in prison, and many others were unfitted by their sufferings for
further service. They were finally sent north to Libby Prison, in Richmond, Va., thence to
Aiken's Landing, where they were paroled on the 20th of November, 1862. They were then sent
to Annapolis, Md., and thence to St. Louis, where they joined the other detachment of paroled
prisoners. The detachment which had been sent to Davenport, Iowa, remained there during the
winter of 1862-3 and was sent to St. Louis, arriving there on the 29th of March, 1863, and
proceeded to Benton Barracks, where all of the survivors of the regiment were again assembled,
under the command of Colonel Woods. The paroled prisoners had been exchanged and the
regiment was ordered to prepare to again take the field. Capt. S. R. Edgington was promoted to
Lieutenant Colonel and Capt. J. H. Stibbs to Major, these officers succeeding Lieutenant Colonel
Coulter and Major Brodtbeck who had resigned. There were numerous other changes which will
all be found noted upon the roster which follows this sketch.
On the 9th of April the regiment embarked on steamers and proceeded down the river to
Duckport, La., where it landed and was assigned to the Third Brigade of the Third Division of
the Fifteenth Army Corps. The Fifteenth Corps was commanded by Gen. W. T. Sherman, the
Third Division by Brig. Gen. J. M. Tuttle, of Iowa, while the Brigade—consisting of the Eighth
Iowa, Colonel Geddes, the Twelfth Iowa, Colonel Woods, and the Thirty-fifth Iowa, Colonel
Hill—was commanded by Brig. Gen. Charles L. Matthies, also of Iowa. On the 2d of May, 1863,
General Sherman's division moved from Duckport, La., and participated in the memorable
campaign which ended in the surrender of Vicksburg on the
4th, the evacuation of Jackson on
5
the 17th, and the capture of Brandon on the 20th of July. From the beginning to the end of its
arduous campaign, upon the march, in battle, and in the trenches at Vicksburg and Jackson, the
Twelfth Iowa performed its full duty and received the commendations of its regimental, brigade
and division commanders. The results of this campaign were very important. The capture of
General Pemberton and his entire army at the surrender of Vicksburg, and the losses sustained by
the enemy in the various battles which led up to and during the siege, together with those which
followed, to the close of the campaign, aggregated more than 50,000 men, and dealt a staggering
blow to the rebel cause.
The regiment went into camp on Black River, eight miles in rear of Vicksburg, and enjoyed a
season of comparative rest until the 10th of October, when it engaged in an expedition in the
direction of Canton, Miss. It had a slight engagement with the enemy near Brownsville, where it
captured and destroyed a cavalry camp. Returning from this expedition, the regiment remained in
camp until early in November, when it was ordered to Memphis and, upon arriving there, was
assigned to the Third Brigade of the First Division of Major General Hurlbut's Sixteenth Corps,
and was stationed at Chewalla, ninety miles from Memphis, to guard a section of the railroad.
On the 25th of December, 1863, 298 men—a large majority of those present for duty—reenlisted
as veterans, and were re-mustered into the service for three years or during the war, on
the 5th day of January, 1864. On the 1st of February, 1864, the regiment was ordered to return to
Memphis, and thence, down the river to Vicksburg, where it arrived too late to participate in the
celebrated Meridian expedition of which it was to have formed a part. It remained in camp until
the return of that expedition, when orders were received by Col. J. J. Woods to proceed with the
men who had re-enlisted—330 in number—on veteran furlough to their homes in Iowa. The
veterans arrived at Davenport, Iowa, on the 22d of March, and were given a furlough for thirty
days from that date. On the 22d of April they had reassembled at Davenport, and, a few days
later, were again on their way to the South. On the 2d of May they were again in camp near
Memphis. In the meantime, the men of the regiment who had not re-enlisted were temporarily
attached to the Thirty-fifth Iowa and, with that regiment, took part in the Red River campaign.
This detachment numbered only about seventy men. They were engaged in the battle of Pleasant
Hill and other engagements, under command of Gen. A. J. Smith, and lost several of their
number in killed and wounded. The survivors of this detachment rejoined the regiment in
Memphis about the middle of June.
On the 14th of May, six companies of the regiment, under the command of Lieut. Col. J. H.
Stibbs, were ordered to the mouth of White River, Ark., for the purpose of establishing a military
post at that point. Lieutenant Colonel Stibbs performed the duty assigned him and, on the 1st of
June, was ordered to return to Memphis with four companies of his detachment, and to leave two
companies as a garrison for the post. Companies A and F, under command of Capt. J. R. C.
Hunter, were detailed for this important duty. The building of the stockade at the post had not
been entirely completed when, on the night of the 22d of June, the little garrison was attacked by
a largely superior force of rebels, consisting of the Tenth Missouri (rebel) regiment under
command of Colonel Lawler. The attack was sudden and determined and, at the weakest point in
the stockade, the enemy gained a temporary lodgment, but they were met with such prompt and
stubborn resistance that they soon fled, leaving twenty killed and mortally wounded upon the
field, a Lieutenant and Major among the number. Those who were wounded and able to retreat
did so, and the rebel loss in killed and wounded was probably double the number of those left
behind. Captain Hunter reported the loss of the garrison as one killed, and five so severely
wounded that they died within a short time after the engagement. Corporal George D. Hunter,
who was killed, and Sergeant Isaac Cottle, who was the first to die from the effects of his wound,
were among the first to meet the attack of the enemy, and
both exhibited great bravery, as did
6
every one of that little band of the Twelfth Iowa, numbering in all but forty-eight effective men
with muskets. For thus gallantly defending their post, Captain Hunter and his little command
were highly commended by General Buford, commanding the District of Helena.
On the 16th of June, 1864, the eight companies of the regiment, under command of
Lieutenant Colonel Stibbs, with Colonel Woods of the Twelfth Iowa commanding the brigade,
started upon an expedition through Mississippi. On the 13th, 14th and 15th of July, 1864, the
regiment was engaged in battle near Tupelo, Miss., and lost in the three days' fighting 64 in
killed and wounded. Lieutenant Colonel Stibbs describes in detail the part taken by his regiment
in each day's battle. The following extracts from his report will serve to show how well the
Twelfth Iowa sustained its reputation as a fighting regiment on that bloody field:
On the 13th, about 2 P. M., while marching as guard for the supply train and support for
Muhler's Sixth Indiana Battery, we were heavily attacked on our right flank by Maley's
Mississippi brigade at a point where the timber and underbrush were so dense as to make it
almost impossible to maneuver the men. Having learned by my flankers the point at which the
enemy were striking, I moved my command so as to meet their front fairly, and then as nearly as
possible concealed my men in the brush and awaited the attack. We allowed the enemy to
advance, without firing a shot, until they were within twenty paces, when we poured a volley
into their ranks. This threw them into confusion, and, after a sharp fight of twenty minutes, we
drove them from our front with heavy loss. Our loss during this action was one man killed, one
officer and eleven men wounded and one missing.
On the morning of the 14th, at Tupelo, I posted my command on the right of the Pontotock
road. In front of, and running parallel with our line, was a heavy rail fence, which we threw
down in such a manner as to form a good protection against small arms. My regiment was the
first to receive the enemy's attack. We held our position under a heavy fire for about two hours,
when, our ammunition being exhausted, we were ordered to the rear, and our place taken by the
Seventh Minnesota. Companies E and H being furnished ammunition were allowed to remain at
the front, and were thus kept constantly engaged during the entire action. The other companies,
after receiving a fresh supply of ammunition, again moved forward and took position in front,
and remained engaged until ordered to charge, when we moved forward on the double quick,
driving the enemy from our front and capturing a number of prisoners. Our loss during this day
was one officer and six men killed and thirty-nine men wounded.
On the morning of the 15th, my regiment formed the left center of the brigade line. We had a
substantial breastwork of cotton bales in our front, which served as an admirable protection
against the enemy's sharp shooters. We took full part in the fight of the day, losing one man
killed, and three wounded. My command numbered on the first day's fight 295 muskets. Our loss
during the three days' fighting was one officer and eight men killed, one officer and fifty-four
men wounded and one man missing Lieut. A. A. Burdick, A. R. Q. M., who was killed, had been
ordered to the rear with his train, but, after seeing his wagons properly parked, he came to the
front and volunteered to assist in bringing forward ammunition. While thus engaged, he was
struck by a shell and instantly killed. The officers and men of my command behaved nobly. As
evidence of the cool, deliberate and accurate manner in which our fire was delivered, I would
refer you to the great number of the enemy's dead that were strewn in front of the lines occupied
by my regiment.
The brigade commander—Col. J. J. Woods—in his official report gives full credit to the
other regiments for their conduct in the battles at Tupelo, and speaks in the highest terms of the
manner in which his old regiment, with its gallant
commander Lieut. Col. J. H. Stibbs, acquitted
7
itself. The total loss of the brigade was 197, and the loss of the Twelfth Iowa was by far the
greatest in proportion to its number engaged.
The regiment then returned to La Grange, Tenn., where it arrived July 21, and from there
proceeded to Memphis where it remained until August 1st, when it again started south into
Mississippi, going as far as Oxford. About this time companies A and F, having been relieved
from duty at the post on White River, Ark., rejoined the regiment, and the remnants of its ten
companies were once more united. Its numbers had been so greatly reduced by deaths, wounds
and disease, killed in battle, discharged for disability, and the absent—sick in hospitals, and on
furlough—that it now numbered less than 250 men present for duty. After an arduous march of
230 miles, the regiment returned to Memphis on the 23d day of August.
On the 1st of September, General Mower, commanding the division to which the Twelfth
Iowa was then attached, was ordered to Duvall's Bluff, Ark., to intercept a rebel force under
General Price. Upon the approach of the Union troops, the rebel force retreated, going
northward, with General Mower's division in pursuit. The march was continued over difficult
roads and with insufficient rations, for seventeen days, covering a distance of 336 miles, ending
at Cape Girardeau, Mo., where the division arrived on the 5th of October. Here the division
embarked on steamers and was conveyed to St. Louis, thence to Jefferson City, Mo., where it
landed and again started in pursuit of Price's rebel army. The pursuit was continued, but at no
time could the Union force get near enough the retreating enemy to compel him to halt and give
battle. At Harrisonville, Mo., the infantry gave up the pursuit, leaving the cavalry to follow the
rebel army and watch its subsequent movements. On the 30th of October the division started on
the return march and reached St. Louis on the 15th of November, having marched—within thirty
days—543 miles in pursuit of its elusive enemy. The Twelfth Iowa had participated in all the
hardship and suffering incident to this long march. On the 23d of November the regiment
embarked on steamer for Nashville, where it arrived Dec. 1, 1864.
The original term of service of the regiment had expired on the 25th of November, 1864, and
on December 1st, Colonel Woods, Major Van Duzee and all but four of the line officers, and the
enlisted men whose terms of service had expired, were mustered out of service. Lieut. Col. J. H.
Stibbs was left in command of the veterans and recruits, while Capt. S. G. Knee was acting as a
field officer, Lieut. D. W. Reed, Acting Adjutant, and Lieut. H. C. Morehead, Acting
Quartermaster. All the companies were therefore left in command of non-commissioned officers.
On the 15th and 16th days of December, 1864, the regiment was engaged in the battle of
Nashville, in which it repeated its splendid fighting record. In his official report of this two days'
battle, Lieutenant Colonel Stibbs gives the details of the part taken by his regiment. He describes
the gallant charge on the forenoon of the first day, in which the Twelfth Iowa bore a conspicuous
part, and in which the brave Col. S. G. Hill of the Thirty-fifth Iowa, who was in command of the
brigade, was shot through the head and instantly killed. It was in that charge that Lieut. D. W.
Reed, Acting Adjutant of the Twelfth Iowa, distinguished himself by leading a portion of his
regiment over the enemy's second line of works and capturing a large number of prisoners and
several pieces of artillery. On the second day the regiment participated in another gallant charge,
resulting in the capture of hundreds of prisoners and several stands of colors, together with guns,
caissons and ammunition. At the conclusion of his report, Lieutenant Colonel Stibbs makes
special mention of the fact that all the companies of the regiment were commanded by Sergeants.
He commends Captain Knee, Acting Major, Lieutenant Reed, Acting Adjutant. and Lieutenant
Morehead, Acting Quartermaster, for valuable services rendered on the field. He also commends
Assistant Surgeon Underwood, who stood faithfully at his post and dressed the wounds of the
men under the fire of the enemy, and Chaplain Humphrey, who rendered invaluable service in
looking after, and caring for, the wounded. He also
mentions Sergeant Major Burch and Color
8
Sergeants Grannis and Clark for great bravery and efficiency in the performance of their
important duties, and concludes by saying that all did their duty nobly, and, to do them full
justice, every officer and enlisted man of the regiment would be entitled to special mention. The
loss of the regiment in this battle was one killed and nineteen wounded. *
* See Adjutant General's report 1865, Vol. 2, Page 1073.
After the battle of Nashville, the regiment followed in the pursuit of Hood's army, to Clifton
on the Tennessee river, arriving there on the 2d day of January, 1865. Leaving Clifton January
5th, it proceeded to Eastport, Miss., where it went into winter quarters. Here Lieutenant Colonel
Stibbs was ordered to Washington, he having been detailed as a member of a general court
martial. He remained upon that duty and other detached service until after his regiment was
mustered out of the service. He was promoted to the rank of Colonel of his regiment Feb. 11,
1865, and was mustered out of the service April 30, 1866. He was subsequently given the well
deserved promotion to the rank of Brevet Brigadier General of Volunteers. While at Eastport, the
following promotions occurred: Capt. S. G. Knee was given the rank of Major, S. R. Burch was
promoted to Adjutant and H. C. Morehead to Quartermaster of the regiment. While at this camp
the men were subjected to great hardship on account of insufficient rations; for a part of the time
they were almost at the point of starvation, the only food obtainable being corn in the ear.
+ This faithful officer retained the command of his regiment until it was mustered out. He was
promoted to Lieutenant Colonel Nov. 22, 1866.
On the 6th of February, 1865, the brigade to which the Twelfth Iowa was attached was
ordered to New Orleans, where it arrived February 25th, and remained until March 5th, when it
again embarked, and, after stopping at various points on the route, arrived in front of Spanish
Fort, on Mobile Bay, March 27th, and from that date until the fort was captured, fourteen days
later, took part in the siege operations. The regiment had eight men wounded during the siege.
The fall of Spanish Fort and Fort Blakeley left Mobile defenseless, and the Twelfth Iowa with
other Union troops took possession of the city on the 9th of April. Here the regiment spent but
three days, when it moved on to Montgomery, Ala., arriving there April 25th, and resting until
May 11th, when it moved to Selma, Ala., where it performed garrison duty during the remainder
of the summer.
In the latter part of September, the regiment was assigned to the military district of
Talladega, which it occupied until December 26th, when it was ordered to Memphis, Tenn.,
where it arrived Jan. 2, 1866, and was there mustered out of the service of the United States on
the 20th of January, 1866.++ The regiment was then furnished with transportation to Davenport,
Iowa, and upon its arrival there was disbanded, and the survivors returned to their homes.

It has been the aim of the compiler to give, in a condensed form, a true history of this
splendid military organization. The material used has been obtained from the official reports and
records in the Adjutant General's office of the State of Iowa. The roster which follows this
history is also compiled from the same source, supplemented by such information as could be
obtained from the War Department in Washington. The personal record of service— contained in
the paragraph opposite the name of each soldier—is, of necessity, a brief one, and even this brief
record may, in some instances, be found to be incorrect,
and, in others, correct as far as it goes
9
but still incomplete. The compiler can only say that, in all such cases, the official records have
been diligently searched to ascertain the facts, and he respectfully refers the reader to the
introductory article to this volume, wherein the difficulties, encountered by himself and the
clerical force engaged in the work, are enumerated. It was in the minds of those who prepared
the act which authorized this publication to secure the preservation of the military history of the
state, and, at the same time, have the personal records of its soldiers preserved in such a way that
they could be traced by those who shall come after them, to their latest posterity. In thus
endeavoring to honor the memory of those brave men, the State has honored itself.

TWELFTH REGIMENT IOWA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY
Term of service three years.
