During the Civil War, black soldiers of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Infantry marched alongside their young white commander, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. Through his letters to family and friends, a portrait emerges of a man more divided and complex-though no less heroic-than the Shaw depicted in the film Glory.
