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. 410 0$aNorth's Civil War. 606 $aAfrican American soldiers$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMilitary service, Voluntary$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican American soldiers$xHistory 615 0$aMilitary service, Voluntary$xHistory 676 $a973.708996073 700 $aWilliams$b George Washington$f1849-1891.$0839631 701 $aSmith$b John David$f1949-$0893592 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463465803321 996 $aA history of the Negro troops in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865$92477833 997 $aUNINA
