About This Book
A compact compilation of contemporaneous records, diaries, newspaper accounts, and official documents documenting the military service and sacrifices of Black Americans in the Revolutionary period and the War of 1812. The text assembles individual and collective accounts, provides a bibliography and authorities for verification, and situates the material as a corrective to racial prejudice by arguing for recognition of patriotism and civic claims. Introductory matter urges social and professional advancement for the race, while the core chapters gather scattered evidence into a single accessible resource for readers and researchers.
