Sources on the 17th
I just submitted my thesis for my Master's Degree. It is on the 17th Louisiana. I collected several sources including J.A. Small's 11 page Memoirs of a Confederate Soldier, (He fought with Company B), a letter from Preston Pond (commanded the 16th LA) to S.S. Heard, a letter written by Daniel Ruggles, and several other documents. Email me and I will send copies. My thesis can be found at the link below under "Resources" titled Mr. Harmon's Thesis.
