Book Synopsis Borrowed Identity by : John Raymond Gourdin
Download or read book Borrowed Identity written by John Raymond Gourdin and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 5,000 colored soldiers from South Carolina served in the Union Army during the Civil War era, and with the exception of sparse recognition for noteworthy deeds of the 33rd United States Colored Infantry regiment (formerly the 1st South Carolina Colored Volunteer Infantry), their services have gone practically unnoticed and their presence long forgotten. After more than two years of compiling and editing pension records of the 128th USCT, the editor gives voice to seventy-six soldiers who rendered honorable services to the United States Army during the Civil War era. During the war approximately 175 regiments of colored troops served the Union Army from every state in the nation. The 128th USCT is one of the six infantry regiments of newly freed slaves from the Low Country area of South Carolina that enlisted and served with the Union. They enlisted as the Union Army passed through their communities. Most of those soldiers served under the surname of their former owners but changed their names after being discharged from service. These borrowed and multiple names are captured in this book from depositions, affidavits, declarations, medical records, and correspondence used to verify the colored veteran's service in the War. Imbedded in the seventy-six genealogical and biographical entries in this book, more than 500 surnames are identified, with an index of nearly 1,500 family members, relatives, friends, comrade soldiers, clergy, and other prominent figures in the communities where these soldiers resided when they applied for pension benefits. While it documents a period in our history, the pension records also tell us how people lived during slavery, both slaves and slave owners. This book offers the reader an opportunity to listen to Voices from the Past that tell us how we got to where we are today. A full name index augments the text.

Book Synopsis Freedom by the Sword by : William A. Dobak
Download or read book Freedom by the Sword written by William A. Dobak and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War changed the United States in many ways—economic, political, and social. Of these changes, none was more important than Emancipation. Besides freeing nearly four million slaves, it brought agricultural wage labor to a reluctant South and gave a vote to black adult males in the former slave states. It also offered former slaves new opportunities in education, property ownership—and military service. From late 1862 to the spring of 1865, as the Civil War raged on, the federal government accepted more than 180,000 black men as soldiers, something it had never done before on such a scale. Known collectively as the United States Colored Troops and organized in segregated regiments led by white officers, some of these soldiers guarded army posts along major rivers; others fought Confederate raiders to protect Union supply trains, and still others took part in major operations like the Siege of Petersburg and the Battle of Nashville. After the war, many of the black regiments took up posts in the former Confederacy to enforce federal Reconstruction policy. Freedom by the Sword tells the story of these soldiers' recruitment, organization, and service. Thanks to its broad focus on every theater of the war and its concentration on what black soldiers actually contributed to Union victory, this volume stands alone among histories of the U.S. Colored Troops.

Book Synopsis Honor in Command by : Freeman Sparks Bowley
Download or read book Honor in Command written by Freeman Sparks Bowley and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir by Freeman Sparks Bowley, a young white officer who served as a lieutenant in a regiment of U.S. Colored Troops in the Union Army, is the work of a superb storyteller who describes how his Civil War experiences transformed him from a callow youth into an honorable man. Describing in detail his relationship with the men in his company, Bowley extols the role of black soldiers and their officers in the Union victory. Bowley's service in the Union Army began when his regiment joined Grant's 1864 Overland Campaign. His courage was tested at the battles of the Wilderness and the Crater. Captured at the Crater, Bowley spent seven months in prison in Columbia, South Carolina. Paroled in March 1865, he rejoined his regiment to serve in the army of the occupation in the coastal regions of North Carolina and was mustered out of military service in December 1865. His memoir is an invaluable record of the fighting capabilities of black soldiers during the Battle of the Crater and the strategies they employed to cope with racism and adapt to military life. It is also a detailed account of the social dynamics of prison life. Editor Keith Wilson's three introductory essays historically position the coming of age narrative as a significant account of race relations in the Union Army and explore Bowley's developing sense of manhood and honor, offering a unique perspective to Civil War scholars and history buffs.

Book Synopsis Ohio's Black Soldiers who Served in the Civil War by : Eric Eugene Johnson
Download or read book Ohio's Black Soldiers who Served in the Civil War written by Eric Eugene Johnson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ohio's Black soldiers have always been in the forefront of this nation's wars and the American Civil War is no exception. The state raised two infantry regiments for the United States Colored Troops during this war and then sent recruits to other regiments organizing in the South. Over 6,700 Black Ohioans served in this war and the names of many of these men have been lost until now. The Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1866 has the rosters for the two Black regiments and additionally, the names of 1,007 more men who were listed as being unassigned to a regiment for a total of 5,092 men. This roster simply states "no further record found" for these men. The author has researched each man using the Compiled Military Service Records of Colored Troops and he has been able to identify the regiments in which these other men were assigned. In the process he was also able to identify over 1,600 more Black Ohioans who are not listed in the Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1866. Besides listing the name of each soldier and his regiment, this book also lists the company, rank, age, birth place, enlistment and discharge information, and death and burial information if occurred during the war. The author was also able to identify a number of Blacks who served with Ohio's white volunteers both as combatants and non-combatants.
