"I have stood by their side in the grim conflict", wrote Union Captain John Chamberlin. "Woe to the nation that long upholds their rights from them." More than an everyday account of camp life and battles, Chamberlin's writings give an insider's view of the Union army's relationship with black troops and the political and social implications of wartime events.
