Black, Blue, and Gray: African Americans in the Civil War

154 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-80655-8
(3) 4-6 Using archival photos and many primary documents, this engrossing book adds to the growing evidence that African Americans were highly active in their own emancipation. In addition to the now famous Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Regiment, Haskins also discusses the less well known Louisiana Native Guards--all-black state militia companies that supported the Confederacy but saw little action because southerners feared they would spy for the Union.
