Blackman, who notes that he is determined to "write facts" in this book, peppers his story with the sordid details of the sinful times of his life as well as with discussions of faith and of struggling to understand his God and his beliefs.Shawnee classics.United StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865Personal narrativesIllinoisBiography973.7/8Blackman W.
