This work chronicles the experiences and military history of the 43rd Regiment of United States Colored Troops, emphasizing their significant contributions to the Union's efforts during the Civil War. The text aims to not only document the valor of the individuals within the regiment but also to argue against prevalent biases regarding the capabilities and worthiness of African American soldiers. At the start of the account, the author sets the tone by explaining the purpose behind the publication, which is to document the significant role of the colored troops and to highlight their discipline, bravery, and potential for intellectual growth in service to the Union. The introduction includes brief biographies of key officers within the regiment, detailing their backgrounds, military careers, and contributions to the war effort. Noteworthy figures such as Brevet Brigadier General S. B. Yeoman are introduced, showcasing their impressive military records and the various battles they participated in, including the pivotal Capture of Richmond. These initial insights into the lives and achievements of these soldiers lay a foundation for understanding the broader narrative of African American troops during a critical period in American history.
