History of the Negro Soldiers in the Spanish American War

Raleigh, N.C.: Capital Printing Company, 1899. Hardcover. Good. First edition. Small octavo. 228pp. Illustrated from photographs and with line drawings. Quarter cloth and illustrated paper over boards. Some erosion of the paper covering the boards, not affecting the illustration, first and last pages a bit soiled, a .75" chip at the crown, an overall sound good or a bit better copy of a remarkably fragile and very cheaply produced book. The first 170 pages are devoted to the War and gives an in-depth view of the exploits of the black soldiers. The remainder is devoted to facts of general interest to the Race, such as the emergence of Paul Laurence Dunbar, and of other African-Americans in prominent positions, etc. By the author of *The School History of the Negro Race*. Very scarce.
