Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
A correspondent of the New York Tribune, under date of November 20th, 1863, writes, "Brilliant Sortie of the 17th Michigan":
"At 8. 30 P. M. rapid cannonading was heard on our west frontier—Fort Saunders— which aroused the town from its temporary repose. Now it was supposed the expected night attack had begun. The advance, it seems, was by our side, and not from that of the enemy. The rebel pickets during the day had got into James Armstrong's house, just under the hill, and had very much annoyed our men.
