Book Description
The 7th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (or 7th OVI) was an infantry regiment formed in northeastern Ohio for service in the Union Army during the American Civil War. It served in the Eastern Theater in a number of campaigns and battles with the Army of Virginia and the Army of the Potomac, and was then transferred to the Western Theater, where it joined the Army of the Cumberland besieged at Chattanooga. It is of the 7th regiment that a war historian wrote, "All in all, considering the number of its battles, its marches, its losses, its conduct in action, it may be safely said that not a single regiment in the United States gained more lasting honor or deserved better of its country than the Seventh Ohio Volunteer Infantry."From the preface:The following pages were written for the purpose of making a permanent record of the facts within the author's knowledge relating to the Seventh Ohio Regiment. The work was undertaken with the belief that the doings and sufferings of the regiment were of sufficient magnitude and importance to entitle it to a separate record. It has been extremely difficult to obtain facts, on account of so large a portion of the members still being in the service. The book is, therefore, written principally from memory. If it serves to perpetuate in the minds of the public the hardships, as well as long and faithful service, of this gallant regiment, then the object of the author is accomplished. Warren, May, 1865.

Book Description
The Civil War changed the United States in many ways—economic, political, and social. Of these changes, none was more important than Emancipation. Besides freeing nearly four million slaves, it brought agricultural wage labor to a reluctant South and gave a vote to black adult males in the former slave states. It also offered former slaves new opportunities in education, property ownership—and military service. From late 1862 to the spring of 1865, as the Civil War raged on, the federal government accepted more than 180,000 black men as soldiers, something it had never done before on such a scale. Known collectively as the United States Colored Troops and organized in segregated regiments led by white officers, some of these soldiers guarded army posts along major rivers; others fought Confederate raiders to protect Union supply trains, and still others took part in major operations like the Siege of Petersburg and the Battle of Nashville. After the war, many of the black regiments took up posts in the former Confederacy to enforce federal Reconstruction policy. Freedom by the Sword tells the story of these soldiers' recruitment, organization, and service. Thanks to its broad focus on every theater of the war and its concentration on what black soldiers actually contributed to Union victory, this volume stands alone among histories of the U.S. Colored Troops.

Book Description
More than 5,000 colored soldiers from South Carolina served in the Union Army during the Civil War era, and with the exception of sparse recognition for noteworthy deeds of the 33rd United States Colored Infantry regiment (formerly the 1st South Carolina Colored Volunteer Infantry), their services have gone practically unnoticed and their presence long forgotten. After more than two years of compiling and editing pension records of the 128th USCT, the editor gives voice to seventy-six soldiers who rendered honorable services to the United States Army during the Civil War era. During the war approximately 175 regiments of colored troops served the Union Army from every state in the nation. The 128th USCT is one of the six infantry regiments of newly freed slaves from the Low Country area of South Carolina that enlisted and served with the Union. They enlisted as the Union Army passed through their communities. Most of those soldiers served under the surname of their former owners but changed their names after being discharged from service. These borrowed and multiple names are captured in this book from depositions, affidavits, declarations, medical records, and correspondence used to verify the colored veteran's service in the War. Imbedded in the seventy-six genealogical and biographical entries in this book, more than 500 surnames are identified, with an index of nearly 1,500 family members, relatives, friends, comrade soldiers, clergy, and other prominent figures in the communities where these soldiers resided when they applied for pension benefits. While it documents a period in our history, the pension records also tell us how people lived during slavery, both slaves and slave owners. This book offers the reader an opportunity to listen to Voices from the Past that tell us how we got to where we are today. A full name index augments the text.
