History of the Seventeenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry 1862-1863 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from History of the Seventeenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry 1862-1863
This radical change Of plan was a grievous disappointment to Colonel Kent and to the people Of the Third District, but it was by no means intended to be a permanent blow and as it finally proved to be the destruction of the Seventeenth Regi ment as an organization. Every possible effort was therefore made to complete it by securing volunteers from all parts of the state. The regiment with its depleted numbers went into camp at Concord on November 19, 1862, and remained there until April 16, 1863, while untiring exertions were made to fill its ranks. But events, military and political, now well known and not necessary to be here recited, had happened which had made the raising of more troops by volunteering exceedingly difficult and at last impossible; although one company and part of another, making 125 men, were added to the regiment from the two other districts towards the success of whose regiments the Third District had contributed so much, bringing the total number of volunteers whose history connects itself with the Seventeenth up to 916 - more than the number required to authorize the mustering by the United States of a colonel. Therefore, at last the earnest struggle to actually fill up the the regiment, secure the mustering of its colonel by the United States, and to send it to the front was reluctantly abandoned; and on the date last named Colonel Kent for the last time paraded his command, transferred its volunteers to the Second New Hampshire Regiment then at Concord to receive them, and the Seventeenth Regiment no longer existed as a formal organization.
