Hello Fred
For the benefit of anyone researching his service:
(1) The NY unit must have been Cochran's Brigade (he is listed in The Maine Adjutant General's Report).Apparently this unit existed for only a short time and was never assigned to any state.
(2) The history of the 17th US Infantry can be found in (available on interlibrary loan):
Sykes' Regular Infantry Division, 1861-1864: A history of regular United States infantry operations in the Civil War's eastern theater, by Timothy J. Reese, published in 1990.
