  • 12Th Missouri Infantry
    12th Missouri Infantry By: Jon Stacy; Camp Historian, Col. F.K. Hecker Camp #443 (SUVCW) The 12th Missouri Infantry was organized by Major Peter J. Osterhaus, immediately after the 2nd Missouri Infantry was mustered out, on the orders of General John C. Fremont. Osterhaus sent Otto Schadt to St. Louis; to begin recruiting. Many of the soldiers of the 2nd Missouri (those that stayed with Osterhaus at the Battle of Wilson’s Creek) signed up into the new three year regiment, however, two companies from Belleville volunteered their services to Major Osterhaus, after his actions at the Battle of Wilson’s Creek and he took charge of two companies of men, who at the time were unassigned. One company was raised almost entirely in Belleville; under the charge of Jacob Kaercher, which left Belleville for St. Louis on 6 August 1861. The other company was raised with men from Belleville, O’Fallon, Lebanon & from Summerfield; by Hugo A. Wangelin. Many of these men had previously served in the 9th Illinois Infantry (Three Months) and refused to reenlist in the regiment if Colonel Eleazar A. Paine continued to command it. It was stated that 92% of the regiment was born in Europe. Joseph Osterhaus, placed many of the Belleville men in higher position, since he already knew and trusted them. The 12th Missouri was organized on 10 September 1861 with Karecher’s Company being organized as Company A & Wangelin’s Company being organized as Company B. Hugo Wangelin was made a Major at organization. Their training period was brief, as they joined Fremont’s Advance into Central Missouri, where Osterhaus‘ tenure as Commander was effectively ended, as he was made their Division Commander, Major Wangelin took informal Command of the Regiment, in the absence of Lt.
