IMAGES OF THE 17TH
I’m always looking for new photographs of soldiers from the 17th Connecticut. If you have a photograph you to share, you can email me at 17thcvi (at) gmail.com. I will post it with the appropriate credit given. If you have information about the soldier, include it with your email. I can add that to the caption.
Visiting the site or doing research? If you want to use one of the photos found here: please ask first . Some photos are used with the permission of the owner or custodian and that permission does not carry over beyond its use here. I will pass along your request to the owner, and if it’s mine I almost always give permission as long as it is credited to the site.
