Vosper's Sharpshooters - 27th Michigan Infantry
The 2nd Company of Sharpshooters of the 27th Michigan Infantry and they 
operated in direct connection with the 27th Michigan Infantry from their 
inception in 1864 until the end of the war. They were armed with the most 
destructive Infantry arm of the war, the "Spencer repeating rifle". They were 
so effective in actions with the 27th that the entire Regiment voted to all be 
armed with them and the whole Regiment be redesignated as "Sharpshooters". This 
vote was never recognized by the War Department.
