More about the book
The narrative details the transformation of nearly 800 escaped slaves into soldiers in the 1st South Carolina Volunteers during the Civil War. Colonel Higginson recounts their effectiveness along the Florida and Georgia coast, highlighting the contributions of notable figures like Harriet Tubman, who served in various supportive roles. The unit's re-designation as the 33rd United States Colored Infantry Regiment on February 8, 1864, marks a significant moment in the history of African American military service.
