About this series
The Alabama 27th Infantry Regiment fought throughout the war beginning with the Battle of Shiloh. It was captured twice, at Fort Donelson and Vicksburg, yet continued the fight throughout the Atlanta Campaign, finally surrendering in North Carolina. This book is an excellent first-hand account by one of its members, Jabez P. Cannon. He kept a detailed diary during the war and wrote the book in 1900.
From the Preface...
I have been assured by many who have read these reminiscences that the simplicity of my narrative, the plain, matter-of-fact details of every-day life of the soldier are its chief recommendation, and been requested by the same readers not to make any change, but to let it go into a book just as it is, so I will offer no apology.A large majority of my readers, perhaps, will be of those who were arrayed against me. To them I will say that I did my duty, as it appeared to me, as faithfully as it was possible for me to do, but when I accepted my parole of 12th of May, 1865, I buried all animosity, and with my comrades of the Gray rejoice that we are a reunited people and equally devoted to the same flag which floats over the teeming millions of this free and enlightened country. In a little while we shall have answered the last roll call, and our children will take our places. We of the South and of the North have taught them to love their country and defend it against every foe, and we can rest assured that the American flag will ever have strong arms and willing hearts to uphold it.That this narrative may be received by the survivors with the same feeling of genuine fraternity in which it is presented is the earnest desire of THE AUTHOR,
Jabez P. Cannon, M.D.
This book has been out of print for many years. We have added details on the officers and a roster of the 27th Alabama along with an index which were not in the original.
