This work focuses on the contributions and experiences of Black soldiers in the U.S. Army from the Revolutionary War to the end of the 19th century, highlighting their significant yet often overlooked role in American military history. It explores the evolution of the African American soldier alongside broader themes of race, identity, and service to the nation.  The opening of the volume sets the stage with an introduction from Lieutenant-General Nelson A. Miles, emphasizing the dedication and valor of Black soldiers who fought in various conflicts. It highlights a sense of urgency for recording the often-ignored history of these men, whose valor and sacrifices contributed significantly to their country's military successes. Steward's narrative intention is made clear: to document the evolution of the Black soldier, drawing from formal military records and personal accounts, while also reflecting on the broader social and political implications of their journey from slavery to recognized service members. The preface thus establishes a foundation for understanding the complexities that define their experiences through challenging periods in American history.
