Book Synopsis Where Death and Glory Meet by : Russell Duncan
Download or read book Where Death and Glory Meet written by Russell Duncan and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 18, 1863, the African American soldiers of the Fifty-Fourth Massachusetts Infantry led a courageous but ill-fated charge on Fort Wagner, a key bastion guarding Charleston harbor. Confederate defenders killed, wounded, or made prisoners of half the regiment. Only hours later, the body of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, the regiment's white commander, was thrown into a mass grave with those of twenty of his men. The assault promoted the young colonel to the higher rank of martyr, ranking him alongside the legendary John Brown in the eyes of abolitionists. In this biography of Shaw, Russell Duncan presents a poignant portrait of an average young soldier, just past the cusp of manhood and still struggling against his mother's indomitable will, thrust unexpectedly into the national limelight. Using information gleaned from Shaw's letters home before and during the war, Duncan tells the story of the rebellious son of wealthy Boston abolitionists who never fully reconciled his own racial prejudices yet went on to head the North's vanguard black regiment and give his life to the cause of freedom. This thorough biography looks at Shaw from historical and psychological viewpoints and examines the complex family relationships that so strongly influenced him.

Download or read book Fighting for Glory written by Charles River Charles River Editors and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-25 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures of important people, places, and events. *Includes accounts of the fighting at Fort Wagner written by some of the 54th's soldiers. *Profiles men of the 54th, including Robert Gould Shaw. *Includes a Bibliography for further reading. "A deserted homestead is always a sad sight, but here in the South we must look a little deeper than the surface, and then we see that every such overgrown plantation, and empty house, is a harbinger of freedom to the slaves, and every lover of his country, even if he have no feeling for the slaves themselves, should rejoice." - Robert Gould Shaw From the Stonewall Brigade to the Iron Brigade, Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War's most famous and legendary units, and many are familiar with the 20th Maine's defense of Little Round Top at the Battle of Gettysburg. But ironically, perhaps the most famous regiment of the entire war today is the 54th Massachusetts, which was one of the first and ultimately the best known regiment that consisted of black soldiers. Like most black soldiers, the 54th received discriminatory treatment from the Army, as white men on both sides were wary of trusting black soldiers in heavy combat situations, despite the fact that the 54th acquitted itself well in a nearly suicidal attack at Fort Wagner. As a result, the 54th fought in several battles of lesser note, and they might have faded into obscurity if not for the critically acclaimed movie Glory, which looked at the lives of its commander, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, and its soldiers. Ironically, though it was unknown at the time of the movie, one of the soldiers in the regiment told his captors he had fought for glory. The movie made the 54th famous, and those who are familiar with the regiment are also familiar with its attack on Fort Wagner, but the story of its creation and its entire service during the Civil War is remarkable from start to finish. The brainchild of abolitionists and the product of a stalled war effort, the 54th was just one of many regiments of black soldiers who fought during the Civil War, and to a large degree it has become representative of the service and sacrifice of black soldiers on behalf of both their country and their civil rights. Fighting for Glory: The History and Legacy of the 54th Massachusetts comprehensively covers the history and service of the famous regiment in the Civil War, profiling its origins, soldiers, leaders, controversies and legacy. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the 54th like you never have before, in no time at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sergeant William Harvey Carney, Company C, 54th Massachusetts Infantry was the first African American Union soldier to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery at the Battle of Fort Wagner, South Carolina. Carney was a former slave from Virginia, escaping to New Bedford, Massachusetts prior to America's Civil War. He had hoped to become a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but once the war began, he believed his services could be better used in the effort to free his people still in bondage.After the Civil War, Sergeant Carney became a strong advocate for racial equality, a role model for the African American community, and a loyal patriot for the country and Constitution he had sworn to protect and defend. The 54th Massachusetts Infantry was the first organized African American Union regiment to serve in America's Civil War. Many Northern politicians and soldiers did not believe the African American would take up arms and fight for his freedom, nor would they make well-discipline soldiers. Governor John Andrews of Massachusetts and African American leader Frederick Douglass believed otherwise. They believed in the ability and commitment of African Americans to train, fight, obey, and willingly share the dangers and hardships of soldiers fighting a war. The book, William H. Carney & the 54th Massachusetts, covers the life of Carney and the battles of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry. Author CW Whitehair has used primary and secondary resources, letters, and period newspapers to chronicle the regiment's history.
