Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The organization of the regiment was commenced under the direction of Colonel James E. Pittman, then State Paymaster, whose excellent drill and discipline enabled the regiment to leave for the front in a very creditable condition.
The 17th left Michigan for Washington on the 27th of August, 1862, with a force on its rolls of 982 officers and men, in command of Colonel Wm. H. Withington, who had a short time before been commissioned as its commanding officer.
