I will be listing a few more 12th Michigan Infantry enlisted men - from a freshly uncovered "long lost" Photo lot that i believe all were meant for, given to and kept by Cap. W.E.Stewart, also from the 12th Michigan Infantry, whose name also appears on some of the CDVs and also had photos of his parents
in the same lot
Some of the photos were dated to about a month after the war's end, and quite a few of the CDV were taken by the SAME photo Lab, White's Portable in Ark, most likely these guys took them at the same time or few days apart
THE 12TH MICHIGAN INFANTRY HAD QUITE A FEW "COMPANIES" , AND WAS INITIALLY A VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT, AND
CONTRIBUTED GREATLY TO THE WAR EFFORT, KNOWN FOR THE BATTLE OF SHILOH AND SIEGE OF VICKSBURG
Below are some internet Battle Units Details, from THE CIVIL WAR - copy n paste Records
