Thousands of black sailors served with valor during the Civil War.
Yet few histories have highlighted their significant contributions
to the Union's impressive string of naval victories throughout the
war, which prompted Lincoln's Secretary of the Navy, Gideon Welles,
to declare that if the army could not win the war, the navy would
have to. Drawing on official naval records, personal letters and
journals, and oral histories of formerly enslaved Americans, this
volume documents the service of fugitive, freemen and freed black
sailors, 1861-1865.
