Michigan Civil War
TWELFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
On the ever memorable day, the 22d of February, 1862, the ladies of Niles gave to the regiment a valuable silk banner. It was presented on their behalf by Miss Mary Penrose, and a response made by the Colonel of the regiment, Francis Qninn.
The regiment moved from Niles on the 18th of March, 1862, taking the route to St. Louis, Mo.; thence it was hurried forward by steamer via the Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee rivers, reaching Pittsburg Landing in time to take part in the important action fought at that place on the 6th and 7th of April.
