This small book contains the names of more than a thousand Union black soldiers who did not serve with the USCT. Rather, they served in white regiments as cooks, laborers, and teamsters. However, they were not mere contrabands. They were bona fide soldiers as their discharge and pension records attest. 

One of those soldiers was the author’s great grandfather who served in the 103^rd Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment. Therefore, the primary purpose for this book is to reveal to many the existence of those black soldiers who have been forgotten by historians. Only an introductory list has been published so far. Additional names can be found at the National Archives.

Autographed copies may be purchased from the author by calling 703-780-7882 or by e-mail  juanitam2@cox.net.
