Thank God, Ms. Weaver got this published!,
This review is from: Thank God My Regiment an African One: The Civil War Diary of Colonel Nathan W. Daniels (Hardcover)
A welcome addition to CW sources. Weaver does an excellent job filling in the background and the epilogue. The actual diary takes up less than half the pages, but they are intriguing nonetheless. Daniels is a true hero toiling in the heat and humidity of the Gulf Coast against the prejudice of other Union officers and soldiers. He can be inspiring at times.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A much needed history,

This review is from: Thank God My Regiment's an African One: The Civil War Diary of Nathan W. Daniels (Paperback)
I have been researching Louisiana and the Native Corps for anything on Major Francis Dumas. He is on cover of book with Mr. Daniels. I like that the author included alot of backround info on Daniels and the people he wrote about in his diary. It is great to hear actual words about how well the Black Troops fought in the Civil War. A much needed history.
