Paperback. Condizione: Fair. George E. Stephens, the most         important African-American war correspondent of his era, served in the         famed black Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Regiment, subject of the film Glory.         His letters from the front, published in the New York Weekly Anglo-African,         brilliantly detail two wars: one against the Confederacy and one against         the brutal, debilitating racism within his own Union Army. Together with         Donald Yacovone's biographical introduction detailing Stephens's life         and times, they provide a singular perspective on the greatest crisis         in the history of the United States.       Stephens chronicled the African-American         quest for freedom in reports from southern Maryland and eastern Virginia         in 1861 and 1862 that detailed, among other issues of the day, the Army         of the Potomac's initial encounter with slavery, the heroism of fugitive         slaves, and the brutality both Southerners and Union troops inflicted         on them.       From the inception of the         Fifty-fourth early in 1863 Stephens was the unit's voice, telling of its         struggle against slavery and its quest to win the pay it had been promised.         His description of the July 18, 1863, assault on Battery Wagner near Charleston,         South Carolina, and his writings on the unit's eighteen-month campaign         to be paid as much as white troops are gripping accounts of continued         heroism in the face of persistent insult.       The Weekly Anglo-African         was the preeminent African-American newspaper of its time. Stephens's         correspondence, intimate and authoritative, takes in an expansive array         of issues and anticipates nearly all modern assessments of the black role         in the Civil War. His commentary on the Lincoln administration's wartime         policy and his conviction that the issues of race and slavery were central         to nineteenth-century American life mark him as a major American social         critic.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Some were slaves who endured their last years of servitude before escaping from their masters; some were soldiers who fought for the freedom of their brethren and for equal rights; some were reporters who covered the defeat of their oppressors. Here, for the first time, are collected the testimonies of African Americans who witnessed the Civil War. They include the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass on the meaning of the war; Martin R. Delany on his meeting with Lincoln to gain permission to raise an army of African Americans; Susie King Taylor on her life as a laundress and nurse to a Union regiment in the deep South; Elizabeth Keckley, Mary Todd Lincoln's seamstress, on Abraham Lincoln's journey to Richmond after its fall; Elijah P. Marrs on rising from slave to Union sergeant while fighting for his freedom in Kentucky; letters from black soldiers to black newspapers; and much more.…
