Here’s a very interesting book that shows that black soldiers during the Civil War could write, use excellent grammar, fight and endure the atrocities of war just as well or better than many of their white counterparts. The detailed letters written by Corporal Gooding give us better insight into the kind of fighting these first black troops were engaged in and how the 54<sup>th</sup> Mass. Volunteers fared in battle. It is interesting to note the reaction of the men to being offered lower pay than whites and how eventually their silent but firm protest was answered with equal pay for equal duty. I was especially interested in the steam ship De Molay which transported the 54<sup>th</sup> Mass. from Boston to South Carolina because it is the same steamer that my great grandfather, Richard Clow was taken on in 1865 when transported from Boston to City Point, Virginia. I had hoped that the Corporal would have given a description of the ship voyage and conditions similar or different to that described by Richard in my book, “Rough Enough”, but sadly this is not so. I can only presume that between 1863 and 1864 the steamer was modified and utilized by much larger groups of soldiers to be put it into the condition described by Richard Clow. In addition to the many informative letters, I enjoyed the numerous pictures which complement the theme of the text. At the end of the book we are fortunate to see Sgt. Gooding’s letter to the executive department of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the reply from John A. Andrew that, “The U. S. is wrong; and while they delay to right , we for the sake of justice and our own honor, will volunteer to do the right instead.” If only a few more persons in our society continued to show this kind of response to the plight of the poor and downtrodden in our country today.
