THE PURPOSE OF THIS SITE IS TO LET PEOPLE BE AWARE THAT I AM WRITING A REGIMENTAL HISTORY ON THE 17TH GEORGIA INFANTRY REGIMENT AND TO LOCATE AS MANY DESCENDANTS OF THE SOLDIERS AND OFFICERS AS POSSIBLE SO THAT THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SUBMIT ANY INFORMATION THEY WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE IN THE BOOK.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT SURE THEIR ANCESTORS SERVED IN THE 17TH GEORGIA INFANTRY, I WILL ADD A LIST OF ALL THE NAMES IN EACH COMPANY, SO CHECK BACK. THAT MAY TAKE SOME TIME.

THE COUNTIES THAT ENLISTED MEN FOR THE 17TH ARE AS FOLLOWS: HARRIS, STEWART, MUSCOGEE, SCHLEY, DOUGHERTY/ MILLER, DECATUR, MITCHELL AND WEBSTER/TERRELL.

I HAVE DISCOVERED A RE-ENACTING UNIT OUT OF COLUMBUS, GA. WHICH PORTRAYS THE 17th GEORGIA INFANTRY REGIMENT, CO. K, "WEBSTER CONFEDERATE GUARDS". THE UNIT IS PRESENTLY RECRUITING MEMBERS.

THE BOOK WILL INCLUDE EVERY MENTION OF THE 17th GEORGIA INFANTRY IN THE "WAR OF THE REBELLION OFFICIAL RECORDS", BETTER KNOWN AS THE "OR VOLS", CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER OF ALL THE BATTLES THE 17th REGIMENT WAS ENGAGED IN, MAPS OF BATTLES, A COMPLETE ROSTER OF EACH COMPANY, INCLUDING BRIEF GENEALOGICAL DATA AS SPACE PERMITS, DIARIES, LETTERS ABSTRACTED COMPILED SERVICE RECORDS AND PENSION CLAIMS, PRISON INFORMATION AND BURIAL LOCATIONS.

A SPECIAL ADDITION IN THE BOOK WILL BE A PHOTO OF THE REGIMENT'S FLAG THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE LAST SURVIVING VETERANS OF STEWART CO., GA. BY THE UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY.

I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND CONTINUE TO SEARCH RECORDS AND ANTICIPATE PUBLICATION OF THE BOOK TO BE WITHIN THE NEXT 1-2 YEARS (hopefully).AS I HAVE POSTED NUMEROUS MESSAGES ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE RECEIVED A GREAT RESPONSE FROM DESCENDANTS SHARING INFORMATION AND PHOTOS FOR THE BOOK. THERE HAS BEEN A GREAT INTEREST IN PURCHASING THE BOOK AND I WANT IT TO BE AS COMPLETE AS POSSIBLE. THIS BOOK WILL NOT ONLY SERVE AS A PERSONAL SATISFACTION OF HAVING ACCOMPLISHED THE PUBLICATION, BUT TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE BEHIND MY CONTRIBUTION OF LONG HOURS RESEARCHING THESE BRAVE MEN WHO GAVE SO MUCH IN THE MOST DEVASTATING EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA.

I DEDICATE THIS PROJECT TO MY TWO 3RD GREAT UNCLES, CAPT. ROBERT P. TONDEE AND LT. WILLIAM H. TONDEE WHO SERVED IN CO. B, SCHLEY RIFLES,17TH GEORGIA INFANTRY REGIMENT.

THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF THE FIELD, STAFF AND BAND OF THE

17th GEORGIA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.

THIS IS JUST A LIST OF NAMES AND RANK, THE BOOK WILL HAVE A COMPLETE ROSTER WITH SUCH INFORMATION AS IF WOUNDED OR KILLED, WHAT BATTLE OR LOCATION.
