Summary
A vivid picture of the Civil War as seen by black soldiers. The 176 letters in this collection were written by black soldiers to black and abolitionist newspapers. These letters give an extraordinary picture of the war and also reveal the bright expectations, hope, and ultimately the demands that black soldiers had for the future--for themselves and their race.
