Synopsis
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Two Years With the Colored Troops
The incidents of the voyage it is not necessary to recite to any comrade whose chance it was to make a trip in an army transport, which had long since seen its better days, and which had been practically condemned before Uncle Sam found for it such profit able use. The men packed like sheep In the hold, the officers, though far better off as to quarters, yet crowded too much for convenience and com fort, the inevitable sea-sickness, the scanty rations, and what was worse, the extreme scarcity of water, were annoyances but the counterpart of those en dured by many brave men who preceded and followed us to the scene of duty. But in the main the weath er favored us, and on the hurricane deck we spent the hours off duty, gazing far across the illimitable waste of waters, as day after day we approached a warmer clime with its glowing sunshine and glitter ing waves and the deep blue sky bending down in unbroken circle around us. The rebel cruisers were then in the midst of their destructive work and it was natural, as we caught sight of a distant vessel, to speculate whether it was a friendly or a hostile craft. When we were in the latitude of Charleston.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the author's two-year journey as one of the first officers of the 14th Regiment, Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, a unit primarily comprised of freed slaves who fought for the Union in the Civil War. The author, initially skeptical about the abilities of the men, soon gains admiration and respect for the sacrifices and resilience of his fellow soldiers. Through vivid accounts of their experiences in camp, on expeditions, and during battles, the author offers insights into the daily and often dangerous realities faced by African American troops during the war.
