Today marks the 150th anniversary of the date over 1,000 soldiers were mustered into Federal service as the 17th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry. For many this was their first service, for some it was their second or even third.
On this August 28th let’s take a few moments to remember them. As my friend, 17th reenactor in Florida, and contributor to this site Jeff Grzelak would say — Bully the 17th!
