Black Confederates. Compiled by Charles Kelly Barrow, J. H. Segars, and R. B. Rosenburg.

Gretna: Pelican Publishing Company, 2004. Octavo, softbound (slick, black & white photo. illustrated stiff black wrappers), 191 pp. Fine. From lower cover: Neighter Confederate history nor black studies can afford to ignore the efforts of black Americans on the side of the Confederacy, as this seemingly contradictory behavior reveals and underscores the terrible complexity of the War between the States. This volume contains correspondence, military records, narrative reminiscences, newspaper accounts, and more from these brave men who served what they considered their country.
