Black Floridians and the Civil War: The 21st, 33rd, and 34th United States Colored Infantry Regiments

In preparing this book it has not been the purpose of the author to write a complete historical sketch of the Michigan cavalry brigade. Such a history would require a volume as large for the record of each regiment; and, even then, it would fall short of doing justice to the patriotic services of that superb organization. The narrative contained in the following pages is a story of the personal recollections of one of the troopers who rode with Custer, and played a part-small it is true, but still a part-in the tragedy of the civil war.
