      The 17th Regt. Mass. Vol. Inf. was composed of companies
      recruited mostly in Essex County in May and June, 1861. The
      regiment rendezvoused at Camp Schouler, Lynnfield, assembling there July 10, 1861, and was mustered into the service July 22.

      Leaving Massachusetts August 23 under command of Lieut. Col.
      Fellows, it proceeded to Baltimore, Md., where it became a part of the command of General Dix. It was not until Sept. 2, 1861, that its colonel, Thomas J. C. Amory, formerly Captain, 7th U. S. Inf., was commissioned and assigned to the command of the regiment. It remained at Camp Andrew, Stewart's Grove, Baltimore, most of the time until the 27th of March, 1862, when it embarked upon transports for Newbern, N. C.
