| 520 | _a"How the Black St. Domingo Legion Saved the Patriot Army in the Siege of Savannah, 1779" by T. G. Steward is a historical account published in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the crucial role played by the Black St. Domingo Legion during the siege of Savannah, a significant yet often overlooked event in the American Revolutionary War. Steward aims to highlight the contributions of free Black soldiers from the French colony of Saint Domingo, who fought valiantly alongside American forces against the British. In this detailed narrative, Steward recounts the events leading up to and during the siege of Savannah, discussing the strategies employed by both the besieging forces and the British defenders. He emphasizes the vital role of the Black St. Domingo Legion, which not only participated in the initial assault but also heroically covered the retreat of the American forces following a disastrous outcome. Through accounts of notable figures within the legion and reflections on the broader implications of their contributions, the book connects the struggle for American independence to the subsequent fight for freedom in Haiti and South America. By shedding light on these historical connections, Steward asserts that the actions of these soldiers were instrumental in shaping the course of liberty in the Western world.
