Twenty Seventh Regiment Infantry
The regiment of eight companies in command of Colonel Fox, proceeded from its rendezvous at Ypsilanti, to Kentucky via Cincinnati, on April 12th, 1863, with a force on its muster rolls of 865 officers and men.
Before leaving the State the 27th had a flag prepared by the ladies of Port Huron and carried to Ypsilanti, where it was delivered on their behalf by the Hon. James Sanborn, of Port Huron, in an appropriate speech, to which Colonel D. M. Fox replied for the regiment. The flag was of the first quality and superb workmanship.
