About This Item
University of Oklahoma Press, 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Hardcover with DJ, First Edition 2001, University Of Oklahoma Press 360 pages. Fine, in a Near Fine DJ. Black cloth boards with gilt spine titles - corners sharp. Just a whisper of shelf/edge wear and rubbing to unclipped DJ - now in mylar. No previous owner markings - all pages are clean and unmarked. This is a great American story that is told here. Black soldiers first entered the regular army of the United States in the summer of 1866. While their segregated regiments served in the American West for the following three decades, the promise of Reconstruction gave way to the repressiveness of Jim Crow. But black men found a degree of equality in the service: the army treated them no worse than it did their white counterparts.13 chapters, 17 B&W illustrations, 2 maps, abbreviations, notes, bibliography (12 pages-priceless), index of personal names and General Index. âWithin the black regiments were congregated a few saints and a few sinners, but the vast majority were simply men who chose the soldierâs profession and performed their duties remarkably well. Their stories are now given new voice in this exceptionally fine synthesis that complements all previous book-length studies of the topic.ââMichael L. Tate, in the Journal of Southern History. "The Black regulars offers fresh perspectives on black soldiers and overturns many long-held assumptions. A seminal work." - Robert M. Utley. Highly recommended to any Western fan or student of Black American History. A superb First Edition in the original unclipped DJ. LOC SSE-04
