Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Negro as a Soldier in the War of the Rebellion Once upon a time, at our old home in Philadelphia, there were two little girls whose names were Rebecca and Rosa. They had Caucasian features, an abundance of long wavy hair, and complexions that were suggestive merely of a clime sunnier than our own. Taking one of their hands into your own, your eye might have discovered at the finger tips a color of a darker hue than the other parts. It was the fatal single drop of negro blood that cursed the whole beautiful fabric and made it possible for these children to be fugitive slaves. Hid away in the barn of our country residence was another fugitive, - a tall, lithe, muscular man, black as anthracite, Daniel Dangerfield by name, now forgotten no doubt, but they enjoying for a brief period a national reputation. The police force of Philadelphia was watching for that man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extremely interesting volume demonstrates, from the official records of the war of the rebellion, that the negro displayed in that protracted struggle the highest qualities of a soldier in many a hard-fought battle. Courage to attack, bravery to endure, fearlessness under deadly fire, and daring in assault, were as conspicuous in him as in the bravest and best of his white fellow-soldiers. That these qualities should be found in men belonging to a race long enslaved is evidence that there is in the race a moral and intellectual basis for the highest culture. All that men have attained they may attain. Colonel Williams, who is himself a colored man, proves by his book that he can guide the pen with skill, force, and sound judgment. In its sixteen chapters he tells us what the negro has done as a soldier, both in ancient and modern times; and he has done this in a style and spirit and with a degree of intelligence which make his volume eminently readable, instructive, and historically valuable. A valuable and interesting history of Negro troops in the War of the Rebellion. The author is himself a soldier, and participated in many of the battles which lie describes. Truly, as he says," the part enacted by the negro troops in the war of the rebellion is the romance of North American history." His chapter, "The Cloud of Witnesses," is a cloud of testimony from Secretary Stanton and many great generals, all of whom put these black men among the foremost of soldiers. They understood the issue, as when the ex-slave, standing guard and seeing his own master brought in as a prisoner, saluted him: "Ah, master, bottom rail on the top this time." They appreciated the symbolism of the Federal garb, as when another on guard said to those who would jostle his authority: "This man is of no particular account, but you must 'spect this uniform." They had the fire of patriotism, as when the soldier addressed his comrades thus: "Our massas, dey hab lived under de flag. Dey got rich under it, and everything beautiful for de chillun; under it dey hab grind us up and put us in their pocket for money. But de fust minute dey tink de old flag mean freedom for us cullud folks, dey pull it right down and run up a rag of dere own. But we'll neber desert de ole flag, boys. We hab lib under it for 1862 years, and we'll die for it now." The author writes of the military prowess of his own race. He was an officer of artillery in the Republican forces of the Mexican army, and an officer of the 6th Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. He participated in many of the battles he describes, including some of the most severe conflicts of negro troops with the enemy in Virginia. He has been intrusted with the journals and orderly-books of officers from the rank of lieutenant to that of major-general, and has been personally acquainted with six major-generals who at one time commanded negro troops. The first chapter is devoted to a summary of the services of negro soldiers in ancient times, beginning with their record in ancient Egypt; then follows a summary of their record in modern times, and then the detailed record of their history in the war of the rebellion.

This book was released on 1887 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of the Negro Troops in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865 (originally published in 1887) by pioneer African American historian George Washington Williams remains a classic text in African American literature and Civil War history. In this powerful narrative, Williams, who served in the U.S. Colored Troops, tells the battle experiences of the almost 200,000 black men who fought for the Union cause. Determined to document the contributions of his fellow black soldiers, and to underscore the valor and manhood of his race, Williams gathered his material from the official records of U.S. and foreign governments, and from the orderly books and personal recollections of officers commanding Negro troops during the American Civil War. The new edition of this important text includes an introductory essay by the award-winning historian John David Smith. In his essay, Smith narrates and evaluates the book's contents, analyzes its reception by contemporary critics, and evaluates Williams's work within the context of its day and its place in current historiography.

This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Negro Troops in the War of the Rebellion 1861-1865: Preceded a Review of the Military Services of Negroes in Ancient and Modern Times I have undertaken to write a military history of Negro troops in the War of the Rebellion. I have written only of the military Services of Negro troops; and I have used the generic word Negro because, while many mulattoes were in the Service, the Negroes preponderated to an overwhelming degree. In writing of the remote past, the historian has the benefit of the sifting and winnowing to which time subjects historical data; but in writing of events within living memory it requires both fortitude and skill to resist the insidious influence of interested friends and actors, to separate error from truth with an even and steady hand, to master the sources of historical information - to know where the material is, to collect and classify it, although scattered through an almost endless maze of books, news-papers, diaries, pamphlets, etc. - and to avoid partisan feeling and maintain a spirit of judicial candor. How far I have succeeded is left to the considerate judgment of the reader. Myself a soldier in the volunteer and regular army of the United States, in infantry and cavalry, an officer of artillery in the Republican forces of the Mexican army, and recently an officer of the Sixth Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, I may claim some military experience. I participated in many of the battles herein described, including some of the most severe conflicts of Negro troops with the enemy in Virginia.

Book Synopsis The Negro's Civil War by : James M. McPherson
Download or read book The Negro's Civil War written by James M. McPherson and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ground-breaking in both technique and in the facts and attitudes it uncovers, The Negro's Civil War offers a much-needed reassessment of our nation's bloodiest conflict from the perspective of those who had most at stake. For anyone concerned with the Civil War and the history and culture of black Americans, here is a richly complex, multifaceted chronicle of a neglected chapter in America's history. In The Negro's Civil War, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian James McPherson assembles key extracts from newspaper articles, books, speeches, and letters, and allows black preachers and doctors, former slaves and intellectuals, soldiers and educators to speak for themselves. Through their words, we learn of conditions for blacks in the Union army, the rebuttal of the theory of racial inferiority, and the shift in black views of Lincoln. And we hear of the aspirations of a newly freed people to acquire education, suffrage, and, above all, the human dignity that had long been denied them. For this edition, McPherson has added a searching new foreword bringing the book up to date.
