This memoir provides a personal perspective on the experiences of African Americans during the Civil War, specifically focusing on Taylor's life as a laundress and nurse in the 33rd Regiment. The narrative highlights the contributions of Black soldiers and the intersection of race, gender, and war, showcasing both the challenges and resilience of those involved. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Taylor’s reflections, as she shares her motivations for writing this account, spurred by requests from friends and fellow veterans. She details the initial reluctance she felt in documenting her experiences, only to be encouraged by prominent figures such as Colonel Trowbridge to proceed. Taylor begins to outline her lineage and childhood, recounting early influences and the challenges of growing up under slavery in Georgia. As she introduces her journey toward supporting the Union army, the reader glimpses the complexities of her role in a segregated military context and the broader struggles for freedom and dignity faced by African Americans during and after the Civil War.
