Hi…I understand that the North Carolina 17th Regiment troops fought at both Drewry's Bluff and Bermuda Hundred….Do you know of any books or other info about the NC 17th?….My great-grandfather, Joseph R. Beale fought for the 17th…..

Thanks for commenting. The Battle of Drewry's Bluff was a part of the Bermuda Hundred Campaign fighting. I checked my two favorite places for information on unit bibliographies.
