Michigan Civil War
TWELFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
"I do not claim that the whole regiment 'covered itself with glory, ' nor could it be expected from a regiment that had been in the field but two weeks, and fully one-half unfit for duty by disease, besides not being properly organized with the whole command for defense. We were as a regiment engaged both days of the fight, which cannot be said of many of the regiments, not only of Prentiss, but other divisions of, the whole command. My recollection is, that we lost 226 in killed, wounded, and missing.
