Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The gallant charge made by this regiment on the stone walls behind which the enemy with his batteries was strongly posted, gave it the name of the ' Stonewall Regiment, ' by which it was known throughout the army, and which has gone with it into the history of the war. "
The poem below referred to was written by Captain Campbell, of the 17th, a graduate of the University. It covers the march of his regiment to the field and its fight at South Mountain, to which the extract included refers.
