Michigan in the Civil War
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
During the attack of the rebels on Fort Steedman, March 25th, 1865, the regiment, then in command of Major Mathews, Colonel Swift being absent on furlough until the 27th, was advanced as skirmishers, and succeeded in repelling those of the enemy, taking sixty-five prisoners, the regiment losing one killed and two wounded. From that time it was engaged very actively in repairing and reconstructing works in front of Petersburg, until April 2d, when the final assault was made on that stronghold.
