Book excerpt: Following huge losses of forces at Fredericksburg and Vicksburg, President Abraham Lincoln authorized the recruitment of black soldiers to the Union army. Beginning recruitment in 1863, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment was to become the first black regiment recruited from free men north of the Mississippi River. It was decided that the black regiment would have white officers and the Governor of Massachusetts, John A. Andrews, appointed abolitionist Robert Gould Shaw as colonel. Among the white officers appointed was Luis F. Emilio, whose first-hand history of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment is an important addition to African-American history. In May 1863, the 54th Regiment left the north and traveled to South Carolina where they began their task of not only defending the Union but proving to many factions of society their equality. Being one of the first black regiments was not easy and the 54th doubtlessly faced an even more difficult struggle than the majority of Union soldiers. In spite of pay disputes, menial work exercises and a greater threat of danger from the South, the 54th Regiment proved itself to be more than equal to the white Union regiments. The regiment is perhaps best known for its part of the Second Battle of Fort Wagner on July 18, 1863. Despite suffering huge losses of life, including that of Colonel Shaw, the regiment showed itself to be unceasingly brave in the face of defeat and was commended for its part in the battle. Including many primary sources, a detailed account of the regiment's tactics in battle and an extensive appendix of soldiers in the 54th, Captain Emilio's A Brave Black Regiment is an invaluable resource for those interested in the role of African-Americans in the Civil War. Luis Fenellosa Emilio, born December 22, 1844, served in the United Staes army from 1861, aged just 16. He joined the 54th Massachusetts Regiment in 1863 and became Captain of Company E, becoming Acting Commander for the regiment following huge losses at Fort Wagner. He retired from the U.S. army in 1865 and first published A Brave Black Regiment in 1891. He died in New York in 1918.

Excerpt: ...on posts about the works, and along the water-fronts, the reserves were held inside the forts, sheltered in the damp and vermininfested bombproofs. The officers were generally the guests of the permanent officers in charge, and occupied tents. There were also the ceaseless calls for fatigue details to land ordnance and other stores at the wharf, drag guns to the front, and return disabled pieces to the depot, besides constant work repairing the batteries damaged by the enemy's fire or the elements. A large sidewheel steamer with smokestacks painted red and lead-color, called the "Flore," was chased ashore on Sullivan's Island during the night of the 22d, and was destroyed the next day by our guns. On or about the 29th, Brig.-Gen. Edward E. Potter assumed command of the district, relieving General Scammon. About this period our fire upon the city was stronger than for some time. November 5, a small vessel was discovered ashore in front of Fort Moultrie. She seemed to be loaded with cotton and turpentine, for our shells soon set her on fire, and she burned until after dark. Colonel Mulford, our commissioner of exchange, had arrived at Hilton Head with 3,200 Confederate prisoners. He met Captain Black, the Confederate agent, on the 11th, in the Savannah River, and arranged for exchanges at that point which took place soon afterward. With November came colder and more stormy days, rendering it bleak and cheerless on Morris Island, exposed to the chilling winds and damp atmosphere. News of the re-election of President Lincoln was received with enthusiasm as a guarantee that the war would be vigorously prosecuted. Brigadier-General Hatch relieved General Potter on the 17th of the district command. Some changes had taken place among...

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 Now or Never! written by Ray Anthony Shepard and published by Boyds Mills Press. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book Here is the riveting dual biography of two little-known but extraordinary African-American Union soldiers in Civil War history—George E. Stephens and James Henry Gooding. Stephens and Gooding not only served in the Massachusetts 54th Infantry, the well-known black regiment, but were also war correspondents who published eyewitness reports of the battlefields. Their dispatches told the truth of their lives at camp, their intense training, and the dangers and tragedies on the battlefield. Like the other thousands of black soldiers in the regiment, they not only fought against the Confederacy and the inhumanity of slavery, but also against injustice in their own army. The regiment’s protest against unfair pay resulted in America’s first major civil rights victory—equal pay for African American soldiers. This fresh perspective on the Civil War includes an author’s note, timeline, bibliography, index and source notes.
