Black Soldiers in Blue: African American Troops in the Civil War Era Paperback - 2004
by John David Smith (Editor)
First line
When President Abraham Lincoln's September 22, 1862, preliminary Emancipation Proclamation went quietly into effect on Thursday, January 1, 1863, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles pronounced it "a broad step...a landmark in history" - an "extraordinary and radical measure - almost revolutionary in its character."
From the jacket flap
Fourteen original essays reveal the varied contributions of the African American soldiers who fought for the Union cause during the Civil War. There were around 179,000 black soldiers; close to 70,000 of them died during the war. The book includes analyses of the major battles and engagements in which African American soldiers fought and discusses the U.S. Colored Cavalry, the recruitment of black regiments in the Mississippi Valley, the use of the USCT as occupation troops, and USCT veterans.
