12th Missouri Infantry CSA

Commanded by Col. James D. White, Col. Willis M. Ponder, Lt. Col. Benjamin Holmes, Maj. Richard C. Berryman and Maj. Thomas B. Sanford. First organized as the 9th Missouri Infantry, the name was changed to the 12th Missouri Infantry to avoid confusion for Col. John B. Clark's 9th Missouri Infantry. From October 22 1862 thru March1863 it was called the 9th Missouri Infantry. On April 1, 1863, redesignated as the 12th Missouri Infantry. Some of the later engagements this unit participated was the Battle of Helena, Pleasant Hill, and Jenkins' Ferry. It surrendered May 26, 1865 under Gen. E. Kirby Smith.
