Book Description
The 1st United States Colored Heavy Artillery served in the Civil War from February of 1864 until March of 1866. Through their story has been largely unstudied, the experiences of the men in the 1st USCHA exemplify the unique and diverse nature of the black experience in the Civil War. This study emphasized the historical context of the regiment by focusing on the structural elements behind its creation, the regiment's role in the conflict, and the inclusion of larger themes within the black military experience. Through the setting of individual narratives of black soldiers in a largely forgotten regiment, this study demonstrates the unique and varied nature of the black military service in the Union army.

Book Description
The men of Battery or Hewitt's Battery were recruited by Capt. Hewitt for infantry service, but as an artillery company was needed, it was drilled for that service, and was mustered as such by Gen. Thomas October 8, 1861. At that early period of the war it was under Gen. Thomas, and was used in the parts of the state about Somerset, Columbia and toward Cumberland river. Technically this unit was the Kentucky 3rd Artillery Regiment, Company B, but it was generally known as an independent Battery. The career of this battery was most useful and honorable, beginning with Gen. Thomas, when he was contending with Zollicoffer's forces in Eastern Kentucky, it faithfully obeyed every order and bravely discharged every duty it was called upon to perform for full three years of active field service. While the Battery was at Murfeesboro, the place was attacked by Forrest, and a part of the Federal forces, was captured. At this time Battery B lost two guns. The battery fired four hundred and ninety three rounds.

Book Description
This historical account sheds light on the often-overlooked contributions of African Americans in the United States military during the Civil War. This book presents the history of the 43rd regiment of USCT, highlighting their extraordinary discipline, efficiency, and bravery in the face of danger. The author also argues for the importance of the USCT as a vital element in the military service on the side of Freedom and the Union. Through the sacrifices of these brave soldiers, the USCT paved the way for future generations and their contributions to the military cannot be overstated. This book is a significant historical account of African American contributions to the U.S. wars, despite facing discrimination and adversity at the time.

Book Description
The Opportunity is at Hand is a new form of study concerning United States Colored Troops. There have been other studies on famous units such at the 54th and 55th Massachusetts and the 14th Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, and on the contributions of Black soldiers as a whole. Yet, a concentrated study of colored soldiers from one geographical area, of men who served in various units, has not been delved into until now. Mr. Wisnoski has researched over 60 colored service men and women from Oneida County, New York, who served in twenty different units and organizations. Many were in the ranks of the 26th and 31st USCT, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, the 14th Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, and other units, as well as several veterans of the US Navy. These men fought in the battles of Fort Wagner, Olustee, Johns Island, James Island, Honey Hill, Petersburg, Chaffins? Farm, and Appomattox. The book reveals the eagerness of colored citizens to take part in the great struggle. The earliest man to enlist was John E. Lippins who joined the Navy on November 4, 1861. Several men served with the 16th New York Heavy Artillery as cooks until transferring to the United States Colored Regiments. A colored washerwoman went into the field with the 2nd New York Heavy Artillery. There were three brothers who served, as well as a father and son in the 31st USCT. There was William ?Uncle Bill? Smith of the 14th Rhode Island Heavy Artillery (later the 11th US Colored Heavy Artillery) who lived to be 113 years old. There was William Henry who weighed 397 pounds, and was turned down by the army because of his bulk. Unwilling to be denied his right to serve, Henry joined the navy and was stationed aboard the Hornet. There was Arlington Denike, who served on the U. S. S. Vermont and the Preston, and attained the rank of 1st class petty officer. Then there were less stellar men like John Green, of the 1st and 40th USCT. Though wounded in battle in 1863, Green was later characterized as ?utterly worthless as a soldier and a confirmed malingerer.? Though most black men from Oneida County were born free, there were those such as Eli Baylis, an escaped slave, who served in the 1st Mississippi Cavalry (later known as the 3rd US Colored Cavalry), and Robert ?Uncle Bob? Wilson who was liberated from servitude from a plantation near Culpeper, VA, and who attached himself as a ?contraband? to Major Rufus Daggett of the 117th NY Infantry. Milton Frank was drafted in the summer of 1863, served bravely, and was twice wounded?the first time at the Battle of Olustee, then at Chaffin?s Farm, a wound that proved mortal. One highlight of the book is a half-dozen letters written by William Labiel of the 14th RI Heavy Artillery. Sadly, Labiel did not survive the war.The book includes three appendices. One lists the known burial sites for the African-American soldiers from Oneida County, another lists the 24 white USCT officers who came from the county, and the last is General Daniel Butterfield?s analysis of the use of black soldiers entitled ?Memoranda With Regard to Colored Troops.? The book contains 30 photos and sketches. Index. 136 pages.
