Description:... This volume, using certain key documents or selections from them, sketches the changing status of blacks in the military service first of the American colonies and then of the United States. Space does not permit an exhaustive treatment; as a result, we have supplied explanations and interpretations to supplement the information found in the materials selected. This new, brief compilation should prove valuable to anyone interested in the contributions of blacks to American military history, whether he be student or teacher, serviceman or civilian, writer of history or curious reader.
