Synopsis:
For modern readers, the thought of African Americans serving within Confederate armies seems beyond comprehension and reason--and a paradox that contradicts all we thought we knew about the Civil War. Yet, this fine work presents historical accounts about African Americans who served within Confederate armies and includes photos and illustrations.
This volume includes articles from historical journals as well as first-person narratives and accounts from the Official Records and is a compelling presentation of material that documents the activities of men of color who served the South during the Civil War. The accounts are enlightening--and mind boggling!
A good reference for those interested in Civil War and Southern studies.
