"Men of Color, To Arms!"
Vermont African Americans in the Civil War
By James Fuller

"Forward, Double-Quick!" and away we all rushed toward the fort… capturing two brass field pieces, one of which the rebels left loaded." A true account of Vermont men of color in battle during the Civil War. A barely known fact is that the tiny state of Vermont provided over one hundred and fifty African American soldiers to fight for the Union and by doing so, free millions of their own race. This is their story. Derived from historical archives and through their own words, discover the soldiers who answered the call, "Men of Color, To Arms!"

"Men of Color, To Arms!" is a thoroughly researched book on the role of Vermont’s African American volunteers to the Union cause. Background information regarding regimental service as well as personal letters written by the soldiers themselves provide a rare glimpse into the lives of these ordinary men serving under extraordinary circumstances. Personal biographies of all the soldiers as well as cemetery and burial information are provided making this publication of interest not only to military history readers but genealogical researchers as well.

This book will be available in January 2001 through IUniverse.com publication services.
