"I do not regret having done as I have done, for I with many thousands was honest and enlisted for our country. If I was home and knew as much as I do now I would enlist at the first opportunity."Corporal Andrew D. Couch - January 1863 |

Officers of the Seventeenth Connecticut Volunteer Infantry - used courtesy of Jeff Grzelak
The American Civil War was unique in that it allowed, for the first time, the average soldier to have his image recorded for posterity (and the folks back home) at a reasonable price. In some cases for the first time in over a century, images of the officers and men of the Seventeenth Connecticut Volunteer Infantry are presented.
