- Summary:
- This book by Cynthia A. Wilson chronicles the lives and military histories of African American Civil War soldiers who eventually settled in Washington State. The author meticulously details the soldiers' journeys, from their involvement in the Civil War to their post-war lives, using military records, pension files, and genealogical research. Wilson sheds light on the challenges these veterans faced in obtaining pensions, which were complicated by the lack of documentation and the rigorous standards of the pension board. The book is a comprehensive compilation of the soldiers' personal histories, offering insights into their struggles and resilience. Intended for historians, genealogists, and readers interested in African American history, the book provides a focused narrative on the experiences of these veterans in the broader context of American history.
