Regimental History
Twelfth Infantry. — Col., David Campbell; Lieut. -Col., Norton McGiffin ; Maj., Alexander Hayes. This regiment, of which six companies were recruited at Pittsburg, two at New Castle and two in Washington county, was mustered into the U. S. service, April 25, 1861, at Harrisburg, to serve for three months. Several weeks were spent at York and on May 25 the regiment was ordered to guard the Northern Central railroad between the state line and Baltimore. Headquarters were made at Cockeysville and this laborious but important duty was faithfully performed by the troops until mustered out at Harrisburg on Aug. 5, 1861.
