DOC The Dream of Zion: The Story of the First Zionist Congress by Lawrence J. Epstein in History

Description

These pages record some of the adventures of the First South Carolina Volunteers; the first slave regiment mustered into the service of the United States during the late civil war. It was; indeed; the first colored regiment of any kind so mustered; except a portion of the troops raised by Major-General Butler at New Orleans. These scarcely belonged to the same class; however; being recruited from the free colored population of that city; a comparatively self-reliant and educated race.
