Focusing on the unique experiences of the first federally authorized black regiment, this account by Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson offers a rare perspective on Civil War life. Higginson not only shares his personal experiences with the 1st South Carolina Volunteers but also plays a vital role in preserving Negro spirituals, documenting the dialect verses and music that emerged from the regiment's campfires. This memoir is a significant contribution to understanding the complexities of army life and the cultural heritage of African American soldiers during the Civil War.
