B., 27th N.C. Regiment" by John A. Sloan is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the experiences and contributions of the Guilford Grays, a military unit from North Carolina that served during the American Civil War. Through the personal recollections of Sloan, who was both a member of the unit and captain, the book recounts the formation of the company and the events leading up to their active participation in the war. The opening of the book details the initial organization of the Guilford Grays in January 1860 amid a burgeoning military spirit in the South. Sloan introduces key figures such as General Joab Hiatt and describes the enthusiasm of young recruits as they sign the company's constitution and don their uniforms. This period is filled with vivid imagery of their first public parade and a celebratory May Day event, highlighting the optimism and camaraderie of the soldiers before the onset of war. Sloan sets the stage for a narrative steeped in personal and collective memory, underscoring the shift from festive beginnings to the harsh realities that await them.
