This page contains the battles that 27th Indiana fought in both
Eastern and Western Theaters. The 27th Indiana was somewhat unique to
have participated in the pivotal battles in both theaters of the war.
Interestingly, they faced some of the same Confederate regiments in
both theaters, as General John Bell Hood's troops were transferred to
the Western theater after September, 1863. General George H. Thomas
often used the experienced XX Corps to attack or plug gaps. Hood's
Corps often led Confederate attacks. As a consequence, the Hoosiers
faced Hood's rebels on several occasions during the Atlanta Campaign.
The battles below contain the actual battle reports from the 27th
Indiana as a means to tell the story. There are also maps and both
period and modern photos. Enjoy.
