"This excellent new military history is a recommended pick for any specialty collection strong in in-depth coverage." --Library Bookwatch (July 2007) "This brief study examines the USCT experience, from recruiting and training to camp life and the troops' performance in battle. The presentation is largely in the form of the troops' own words, in the form of extracts from their memoirs and oral histories, many of which are from the 'Slave Narratives' collected by the Federal Writers' Project in the 1930s...For those interested in pursuing the topic, there is a helpful list of further reading and a summary of museum and web site resources." --Doug C. Bister, Military Trader Magazine
Approximately 200,000 African Americans fought for the Union during the Civil War. Initially, many white soldiers doubted their bravery and skill; they were soon proved wrong. The United States Colored Troops performed countless acts of courage, most famously at the battle of Fort Wagner where the 54th Massachusetts marched forth and scaled the parapets, only to be driven back in fierce hand-to-hand combat. Through fascinating first-hand accounts, this title examines the journey of the African American from slave to soldier to free man, ultimately providing a fascinating insight into the impact that these brave men had on the war and how it influenced their lives thereafter.
