| Summary | "The 'Twenty-Seventh': A Regimental History" by Winthrop Dudley Sheldon is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This narrative chronicles the experiences of the Twenty-seventh Regiment Connecticut Volunteers during the American Civil War, detailing their formation, training, and pivotal battles, such as Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. The book serves as a tribute to the regiment's commitment and sacrifices, making it a significant contribution to Civil War literature. The opening of the book introduces readers to the context of the Civil War in 1862, marked by the urgent call for troops amid escalating conflict. The Twenty-seventh Regiment is formed primarily from New-Haven County, and Sheldon's narrative follows their preparation for battle, depicting the diverse backgrounds of its soldiers and their resolve to serve. As they set up camp near Washington, the challenges of military life emerge, combined with the anxiety surrounding their upcoming engagements. The reader is drawn into the camaraderie and spirit of the regiment, setting the stage for the harrowing experiences that lie ahead in the war. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
