Regiment History: NEW YORK
TWELFTH CAVALRY
(Three Years)
Twelfth Cavalry.-Col., James W. Savage; Lieut.-Col., Philip G.
Vought; Majs., J. Ward Gaspar, Rowland R. West, Floyd Clarkson,
Rodney M. Taylor.
The 12th cavalry, known as the 3d Ira Harris Guard, was organized
at New York city to serve for three years. The companies of
which it was composed were recruited in the counties of New York,
Columbia, Albany, Rensselaer, Clinton, Franklin, Oswego, Onondaga
and Erie, and were mustered into the U. S. service from Nov. 19
to 24, 1863.
A howitzer section, manned by members of the regiment, was
attached during the year 1864. The regiment left the state by
detachments from May to Dec., 1863, and proceeded to North
Carolina, where it spent its entire term of service, forming part
of the 18th corps under command of Maj.-Gen. J. G. Foster.
In the final campaign in 1865, it was assigned to the provisional
corps, and from April, 1865, was with the 23d corps, commanded by
Maj.-Gen. Schofield. In July, 1863, it shared in Gen. Foster's
raid to Tarboro, meeting with a loss of 4 killed, 14 wounded and
25 missing.
It also sustained some losses in the engagements near Washington,
N. C., in August. It assisted in repelling the enemy's attack on
New Berne in Feb. 1864, and participated in the defense of
Plymouth in April, where it sustained its heaviest loss, 8 killed
and mortally wounded, 11 wounded and 102 captured.
Many of the men captured subsequently perished in the prison pen
at Andersonville. During the remainder of the year 1864 the
regiment took part in numerous raids throughout the state and was
often in action, meeting with some loss. In March, 1865, the
12th led the advance of Schofield's column, which was moving to
join the forces of Gen. Sherman and fought gallantly in the three
days' battle at Wise's Forks, where it lost 62 men killed,
wounded and missing.
It skirmished almost continuously from Kinston to Goldsboro, its
total losses in the campaign of the Carolinas being 134 killed,
wounded and missing. After Johnston's surrender the regiment was
employed in guard duty in the region about the Tar river until
July 19, 1865, when it was mustered out at Raleigh, N. C.
It lost while in service 3 officers and 36 men killed and
mortally wounded; 5 officers and 178 men died of disease,
accidents, in prison, etc., a total of 222. It sustained
unusually heavy losses by death in Confederate prisons, 1 officer
and 84 enlisted men dying in the hands of the enemy.

NEW YORK
TWELFTH CAVALRY
(Three Years)
Twelfth Cavalry.-Col., James W. Savage; Lieut.-Col., Philip G.
Vought; Majs., J. Ward Gaspar, Rowland R. West, Floyd Clarkson,
Rodney M. Taylor.
The 12th cavalry, known as the 3d Ira Harris Guard, was organized
at New York city to serve for three years. The companies of
which it was composed were recruited in the counties of New York,
Columbia, Albany, Rensselaer, Clinton, Franklin, Oswego, Onondaga
and Erie, and were mustered into the U. S. service from Nov. 19
to 24, 1863.
A howitzer section, manned by members of the regiment, was
attached during the year 1864. The regiment left the state by
detachments from May to Dec., 1863, and proceeded to North
Carolina, where it spent its entire term of service, forming part
of the 18th corps under command of Maj.-Gen. J. G. Foster.
In the final campaign in 1865, it was assigned to the provisional
corps, and from April, 1865, was with the 23d corps, commanded by
Maj.-Gen. Schofield. In July, 1863, it shared in Gen. Foster's
raid to Tarboro, meeting with a loss of 4 killed, 14 wounded and
25 missing.
It also sustained some losses in the engagements near Washington,
N. C., in August. It assisted in repelling the enemy's attack on
New Berne in Feb. 1864, and participated in the defense of
Plymouth in April, where it sustained its heaviest loss, 8 killed
and mortally wounded, 11 wounded and 102 captured.
Many of the men captured subsequently perished in the prison pen
at Andersonville. During the remainder of the year 1864 the
regiment took part in numerous raids throughout the state and was
often in action, meeting with some loss. In March, 1865, the
12th led the advance of Schofield's column, which was moving to
join the forces of Gen. Sherman and fought gallantly in the three
days' battle at Wise's Forks, where it lost 62 men killed,
wounded and missing.
It skirmished almost continuously from Kinston to Goldsboro, its
total losses in the campaign of the Carolinas being 134 killed,
wounded and missing. After Johnston's surrender the regiment was
employed in guard duty in the region about the Tar river until
July 19, 1865, when it was mustered out at Raleigh, N. C.
It lost while in service 3 officers and 36 men killed and
mortally wounded; 5 officers and 178 men died of disease,
accidents, in prison, etc., a total of 222. It sustained
unusually heavy losses by death in Confederate prisons, 1 officer
and 84 enlisted men dying in the hands of the enemy.
