SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
We marched out on the National turnpike in the direction of South Mountain, and about midnight bivouacked for. a few hours not many miles from Middleton. Before daybreak on the morning of the 14th, we moved on, passing through Middleton, reaching the base of the mountain about 9 o'clock. The South Mountain at this point is about 1, 000 feet in height, its general direction from northeast to southwest, the National road from Frederick to Hagerstown crossing it at nearly right angles through ' Turner's Gap, ' a depression some 400 feet in depth.
