About the author
Born in Guilford County, North Carolina, in 1839, John Alexander Sloan served in the Confederate army during the American Civil War and became captain of Company B, 27th North Carolina Regiment, known as the Guilford Grays.
After the war, he turned his experiences and research into historical writing. He is best known for Reminiscences of the Guilford Grays, Co. B., 27th N.C. Regiment and for North Carolina in the War Between the States, works centered on North Carolina soldiers and their service in Virginia.
Sloan died in the mid-1880s, and his writing remains valuable for readers interested in Civil War memory, regimental history, and the voices of those who experienced the conflict firsthand.
