A controversial character largely known (as depicted in the movie
Glory) as a Union colonel who led Black soldiers in the Civil War,
James Montgomery (1814–71) waged a far more personal and radical
war against slavery than popular history suggests. It is the true
story of this militant abolitionist that Todd Mildfelt and David D.
Schafer tell in Abolitionist of the Most Dangerous Kind, summoning
a life fiercely lived in struggle against the expansion of slavery
into the West and during the Civil War. This book follows a
harrowing path through the turbulent world of the 1850s and 1860s
as Montgomery, with the fervor of an Old Testament prophet,
inflicts destructive retribution on Southern slaveholders wherever
he finds them, crossing paths with notable abolitionists John Brown
and Harriet Tubman along the way. During the tumultuous years of
“Bleeding Kansas,” he became a guerilla chieftain of the
antislavery vigilantes known as Jayhawkers. When the war broke out
in 1861, Montgomery led a regiment of white troops who helped
hundreds of enslaved people in Missouri reach freedom in Kansas.
Drawing on regimental records in the National Archives, the authors
provide new insights into the experiences of African American men
who served in Montgomery’s next regiment, the Thirty-Fourth
United States Colored Troops (formerly Second South Carolina
Infantry). Montgomery helped enslaved men and women escape via one
of the least-explored underground railways in the nation, from
Arkansas and Missouri through Kansas and Nebraska. With
support of abolitionists in Massachusetts, he spearheaded
resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act in Kansas. And, when war came,
he led Black soldiers in striking at the very heart of the
Confederacy. His full story thus illuminates the actions of both
militant abolitionists and the enslaved people fighting to destroy
the peculiar institution.
