Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Twelfth Regiment, Rhode Island Volunteers, in the Civil War, 1862-1863
Although forty years have elapsed since the twelfth regiment rhode island volunteers was mustered out. Of the military service of the United States, no permanent history of the part which it took in the Civil War has yet been written. Many, if not most, of the other regiments and military organizations which went forth from this State have put into enduring form a record of their deeds and experiences while in the service of their country. And a goodly number of the survivors of the Twelfth Regiment now feel that they owe it to the memory of the many who have departed this life, as well as to the honor of the few who still remain, to do likewise.
Animated by this feeling, a committee was appointed, at the annual reunion of the surviving members of the regi ment held in August, 1901, to prepare and publish a his tory of the regiment, and that committee hereinafter pre sents the result Of its labors.
