This book is about the experiences of the Twelfth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War as told by the men. The information has been abstracted from a rare book entitled, The Story of Company E of the Twelfth Wisconsin Regiment of Veteran Volunteer Infantry in the War of the Rebellion, Beginning with September 7, 1861 and ending July 21, 1865. This book was compiled after a reunion of the Twelfth—the men wanted their story to be shared with future generations. Although shortened to a more readable length, the history of the regiment has been retained and the most dramatic events told in the words of men who experienced them. The chapters include: Camp Randall to Kansas; the Vicksburg Campaign; Jackson to Natchez; the Meridian Campaign; Kennesaw Mountain; Nickajack Creek; The Battle for Atlanta; the Battles of Ezra Church, Jonesboro, and the Pursuit of Hood; the March to the Sea and the Carolina Campaign. A full roster of the men who fought for the Twelfth is included. This is a must have for anyone interested in the Civil War!
