About This Book

The author traces African Americans' social history and military service from the Revolutionary period through the Spanish–American War, combining background on slavery, emancipation, and community life with accounts of black soldiers' participation in major conflicts. Chapters examine attitudes toward military service, enlistment patterns, and regimental actions—especially the black regular regiments' organization, campaigns in Cuba (including landings, battles such as El Caney and San Juan), and the aftermath, including disease and camp conditions. The book also surveys volunteer units, profiles black officers, and offers officers' diaries and official reports to highlight gallantry, logistical challenges, and reflections on race, discipline, and recognition in the U.S. Army.
