The man who led America's first black regiment speaks for himself with equal eloquence through nearly 200 letters he wrote to his family and friends during the Civil War. The portrait that emerges is of a man more divided and complex--but no less heroic--than the Shaw depicted in the celebrated film Glory. "(Shaw's) letters . . . are an invitation for Americans to learn about one another".--from the Foreword by William S. McFeely.
