Seventeenth County Regiment.
The Seventeenth Regiment con-
necticut Volunteer infantry will al-
wllys be known as, the“ Fairflcld PCoun-
ty regiment in the annals of Conneo
ticut’s share in the Civil War.
Early in 1862 patriotic citizens
from every town in the county carn-
estly petitioned Governor Bucking
ham to anthoriza the raising of a
regiment and pledged themselves to
muster its full strength from among
the loyal sons of Fairneld county.
This promise was faithfully kept, for
the records show the less than 50
men were enrolledat the regiment
from outside of the county. Within
thirty days of the receipt of his com
mission by Colonel William H. Noble
of Bridgeport on July 22,1862, the
regiment had been recruited to its
full strength of over 1, 0300 officers and
men, and was ready to take the field
at that time but did not receive or-
ders to go to the from until August
28, During that period it was on-
camped at what is now Seaside Park.

Bridgeport Banner Recruiting Town.
Bridgeport early in 1882 guined
fame as “The. Banner «Recruiting
Town of Connecticut" having furnish
ed seventy more men than her quota
or a total of eight hundred and fifty
out"'of on enrolled militia of sixteen
hundred. To the Seventeenth so or-
iginally organized. Bridgeport gave
its Colonel, its Liout Ooh. quarter-
master. surgeon. the captains of two
companies, and a large proportion or
the minor oflcors and privates in four
companies. During the enrollmont.
and while drilling at .Camp PAikon,
the citizens of Bridgeport contributed
largely to the moral. and physical
wolfore of the men. Through the
shorts of Rev. Alexander R. Thomp-
son the Seventeenth was furnished
with 1 large chapel, tool. it library or
over Ire hundred volumes, chess and
checker boards, and many other arti-
cles to promote the pleasure and
comfort of the men. P .
Col. Noble and Lieut. Col. “Waiter
were each presented with a fine all!-
die horse and equipments by their
Bridgeport leliow citizens. When the
Seventeenth left for the front on Sept
3, 1862. relatives and friends of um
soldiers from all parts of the county
flockcd‘to Bridgeport to wish them
Godspeed, and many of the older
residents remember the crowds which
were the largest in the history of
the city onto that time.
Gov. Buckingham and his staff re-
viewed the regiment and patriotic
fervor ran high.- Many men of high
business and socisi station were in its
ranks as private soldiers, including
Elias Howe, Jr., the inventor of the
sewing machine, who accounts of the
time credit. with “an income of a
quarter of a. million dollars a year."
“with his long hair cut tight to his
head and a musket on his shoulder"
Elias Rowe's income was of material
benefit to his poorer comrades later
when at one time 116 advanced the
necessary funds for moneys duo the
soldiers when there was a delay in

when they were mustered out and
arrived in New flavon, chartered a
