Historical Sketch And Roster Of The Tennessee 12th Infantry Regiment (Consolidated) John C Rigdon

The Tennessee 12th Infantry Regiment was organized at Jackson, Tennessee, in May, 1861. The companies composing the regiment first assembled at Jackson, where the regiment was organized as part of the Provisional Army of Tennessee. The unit was assigned to B. R. Johnson's, P. Smith's, Vaughan's, and Palmer's Brigade. During June, 1862, the 22nd Regiment merged into the 12th, and in October, 1862, this command was consolidated with the 47th Regiment. This was thus one of the earliest regiments to be consolidated and it continued throughout the war known as the 12th Consolidated although several other units were also consolidated in as time went on.
