Twenty Seventh Regiment Infantry
TWENTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY.
" To arms! the voice of freedom calls,
Nor calls in vain;
Up from the fields, the shops,
the halls, The busy street,
the city walls,
Rush martial men. "
In the order for the recruitment of the 27th Regiment it was directed that six companies be raised in the Lake Superior counties, but only three were there organized, consisting of those recruited by Captains Wright, Moody, and Plummer. These companies were rendezvoused at Port Huron, and were for a time in charge of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas S. Sprague, of Detroit, and afterwards in command of Colonel D. M. Fox.
In the meantime, the recruitment of a regiment designated as the 28th had been ordered, to rendezvous at Ypsilanti, in charge of Colonel Edward Doyle, of Detroit.
