From the preface: \"Feeling anxious to preserve for future reference an account of the part which the Negro took in suppressing the Slaveholders' Rebellion  I have been induced to write this work. In doing so  it occurred to me that a sketch of the condition of the race previous to the commencement of the war would not be uninteresting to the reader. For the information concerning the services which the blacks rendered to the Government in the Revolutionary War  I am indebted to the late George Livermore  Esq.  whose \"Historical Research\" is the ablest work ever published on the early history of the negroes of this country. In collecting facts connected with the Rebellion  I have availed myself of the most reliable information that could be obtained from newspaper correspondents  as well as from those who were on the battle-field. To officers and privates of several of the colored regiments I am under many obligations for detailed accounts of engagements. No doubt  errors in fact and in judgment will be discovered  which I shall be ready to acknowledge  and correct in subsequent editions. The work might have been swelled to double its present size; but I did not feel bound to introduce an account of every little skirmish in which colored men were engaged. I waited patiently  before beginning this work  with the hope that some one more competent would take the subject in hand; but  up to the present  it has not been done  although many books have been written upon the Rebellion.
