Seraile provides an interesting study of the role of black soldiers from New York State during the Civil War. Despite opposition from Horatio Seymour, the governor of New York, more than 4,000 men served in the crucial battles. This book fills a gap in the history of the Civil War and provides historians with a valuable glimpse into the lives of these brave men and their families.

Review
William Seraile, Professor of Black Studies at Lehman College, The City University of New York, has written an impressive book that does far more thank its title suggests...His treatment of broader political, economic and social issues distinguishes his study from either annotated editions of personal accounts of volunteers or officers or the celebratory and narrowly focused regimental histories...Useful appendixes for the details on officers and recruits of the regiments and a very thorough bibliography complete the book..
