"The Sable Arm" by Dudley Taylor Cornish (Click Image to Return) The Sable Arm: Black Troops in the Union Army, 1861-1865 - This masterpiece traces the development of Union policy on the use of black troops in the Union army and analyzes the problems connected with the implementation of that policy. The idea of using black troops was a daring one at the time. "It is hard to realize," Cornish tells us, "how revolutionary the experiment of permitting Negroes to bear arms was considered, how fraught with imagined dangers to the Union cause, how galling to white pride."
