I have stood by their side in the grim conflict,"" wrote Union
Captain John Chamberlin. ""Woe to the nation that long upholds
their rights from them."" Chamberlin, commander of the 1st
Louisiana Native Guard, spent nearly five years in the South during
and after the Civil War. A well read, observant and articulate
writer, his letters and diaries record his unique perspective on
commanding black soldiers and engineers in the Corps d'Afrique.
More than an everyday account of camp life and battles,
Chamberlin's writings-here presented in historical context-give an
insider's view of the Union army's relationship with black troops
and the political and social implications of wartime events. Late
in the war, his correspondence focused on a schoolmate, Anna
Bullock, and their burgeoning relationship.
