A Brave Black Regiment: The History of the Fifty-Fourth Regiment
of Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, 1863-1865 - This record has grown out of
the researches and material gathered for the preparation of papers read before the officers of
the Fifty-Fourth and Fifty-fifth Massachusetts Infantry and other veterans associations at
reunions in recent years, as well as newspaper articles. It is founded upon the compiler's
daily record of events, his letters of the period, contemporaneous records, and the very full
journal of Lieut. John Ritchie, as well as a briefer one of Capt. Lewis Reed. To both these
officers grateful acknowledgements are rendered.
Thanks are also due to Lieut. Cols. H. N.
Hooper and George Pope for valuable records. Sergt. Major John H. Wilson, and Sergts. William
H. Carney and Charles W. Lenox have furnished important particulars. Mentions should be made of
Capt. William C. Manning, Twenty-third U.S. Infantry whose field notes were most thankfully
received. Throughout the compilation Gen. A. S. Hartwell, Col. N. P. Hallowell, and Capt.
Charles C. Soule, all of the Fifty-fifth Massachusetts Infantry, have manifested unflagging
interest.
Price: $18.95 + $3.00 s/h (MD residents, please add 5% sales tax)
