Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
On the 29th it was engaged in the defense of Fort Saunders.
During the retreat to Knoxville, and during the siege, the men suffered greatly, especially while besieged, from the want of proper and sufficient rations. On the 7th of December the 17th, in command of Lieutenant Colonel Swift, who had been commissioned to rank from November 26th, moved from Knoxville in pursuit of the enemy, who had abandoned the siege and were retreating up the valley toward Morristown.
