This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Negro as a Soldier in the War of the Rebellion Once upon a time, at our old home in Philadelphia, there were two little girls whose names were Rebecca and Rosa. They had Caucasian features, an abundance of long wavy hair, and complexions that were suggestive merely of a clime sunnier than our own. Taking one of their hands into your own, your eye might have discovered at the finger tips a color of a darker hue than the other parts. It was the fatal single drop of negro blood that cursed the whole beautiful fabric and made it possible for these children to be fugitive slaves. Hid away in the barn of our country residence was another fugitive, - a tall, lithe, muscular man, black as anthracite, Daniel Dangerfield by name, now forgotten no doubt, but they enjoying for a brief period a national reputation. The police force of Philadelphia was watching for that man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Negro Soldier With the Red Hand of France IN the great World War, as in all other wars in which this country has been engaged, the negro has proven himself to be an interesting as well as an important factor. On January lst, 1918, when it was announced that the negro soldiers would be mobilized and sent overseas to take part in the struggle, the eyes of the world were turned on the American negro. The patriotism and fidelity of these people had been rather doubtfully viewed by those who had not been closely related to them. When the call for volunteers came the negro National Guard units rapidly recruit ed to war strength, and when the draft came they responded to their country's call.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plea of the Negro Soldier: And a Hundred Other Poems It you had been deprived of an education in your early youth; if then you had run away from home to obtain that education and found, after some ten or eleven years of knocking and being knocked about, that you could not save money enough out of your scant earnings to pay for your schooling; if, during those years, you had traveled through nearly every state between Bos ton and San Francisco and from Virginia, Ten hessee and Arkansas to the southern part of Canada, being compelled to work, generally, in menial positions if you wished to keep from starving; you would not think you had been very fortunate in life. If you had walked the streets of a great city by day, sometimes with only five cents in your pockets and only a scant meal in your stomach for several hours, and all one December night stood/ in the archway of a church door to rest from a weary day of job hunting; if you had lived upon scant means, compelled to support yourselfoften being physically hungry in an endeavor to satisfy your mental hunger for knowledge; it, again.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sidelights on Negro Soldiers T gives me great pleasure to write a word of intro lduction to this interesting and important book that Mr. Williams has written. The story of the Negro soldier is one of the romances of American history. Even in the days of the Revolution and the War of 1812 he played an honorable part; but it was the Civil War that gave him his first lar'ge opportunity, and at Port Hudson, Fort Wagner, or Fort Pillow he passed through the baptism of fire, striving that the emancipa tion of his people might be guaranteed and the integrity of his country preserved. We also remember another war, and Santiago and San juan Hill, and not only how Negro men went gallantly to the charge but also how the soldiers in a black regiment faced pestilence and fever that their white comrades might be saved. Then came Carrizal, strange prelude of the great con flict to come and once more, at an unexpected moment, the soul of the nation was thrilled by the courage of the Tenth Cavalry. Theirs not to make reply theirs but to do and die. So in the face of odds they obeyed orders and died beneath the Mexican stars.
