Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The regiment was actively engaged in the movements of the 10th and 11th, and on the 12th took part in the charge on the rebel works. In this charge the loss of the regiment was 23 killed, 73 wounded, and 93 taken prisoners, out of 225 engaged. Among the killed were Captain John S. Vreeland and Lieutenant Alfred E. Canfield. The large loss in prisoners was owing to the regiment becoming surrounded by a greatly superior force in dense woods.
