内容説明
While countless works have been written on the role of the US Army in the Old West, only recently has attention been focused on the role of African-American soldiers who made up nearly one-fifth of the cavalry and one-tenth of the total US Army in the West during the last quarter of the 19th century. These soldiers served in four regiments: the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the twenty-forth and twenty-fifth infantry. In a uniques move, Congress assigned a chaplin to each balck regiment primarily to serve as teacher for the mostly illiterate new recruits. Alan Lamm explores the contributions of these chaplains in the context of the regiments in which they served.

Exciting look at a overlooked subject.
1999/8/23
形式:ハードカバー
Lamm's work covers an overlooked area of history and black religion. His style is clear, lively, in-depth, informative, and easy to read. This book will appeal to both historians and nonprofessionals interested in the 19th century U.S. Army, African American history, and Black church history. Lamm helps bring to life the story of five black clergymen, four of whom were former slaves, who rose up from slavery and oppression to become officers and gentlemen in the nation's armed forces. He demonstrates not only their on personal struggle with prejudice and racism, but also their struggle to fight for the rights of blacks in Jim Crow America. Each man was unique, yet Lamm ties all five together in a way that brings cohesion to the book. This work fills a void that has long been overlooked by historians and is a worthy addition to anyone's library.
