Twenty-Seventh Louisiana Volunteer Infantry

About this book

A regimental history focuses on the first infantry division assigned to the defense of Vicksburg, Mississippi, during the American Civil War.

The Twenty-seventh Louisiana Volunteer Infantry was the first infantry division assigned to the defense of Vicksburg, Mississippi. The author, inspired by his great-grandfather, Burlin Moore Scriber, who served as a corporal in the Louisiana Infantry's Company B, celebrates the undaunting courage of this regiment during the forty-seven-day siege by Union soldiers before the surrender of Vicksburg.

This valuable historical and genealogical resource includes details about the Louisiana Secession Convention in 1861, the creation of Camp Moore, and the battles of Champion Hill, Grand Gulf, and Black River Bridge. Featuring a wealth of archival information and photographs, Twenty-seventh Louisiana Volunteer Infantry also includes a register of soldiers, including rank, promotions, service records, captures and paroles, medical history, and personal information.

Praise for Twenty-seventh Louisiana Volunteer Infantry

"A masterful job... Reads like a novel instead of just the dry facts about a battle. We see the human side of his facts." —Paula Stobaugh, secretary, Conway County Genealogical Society
