Sneak Peak “In Colonel Montgomery’s hands these up-river raids reached the dignity of a fine art. His conceptions of foraging were rather more Western and liberal than mine, and on these excursions he fully indemnified himself for any undue abstinence demanded of him when in camp. I remember being on the wharf, with some naval officers, when he came down from his first trip. The steamer seemed an animated hen-coop. Live poultry hung from the foremast shrouds, dead ones from the mainmast, geese hissed from the binnacle, a pig paced the quarter-deck, and a duck’s wings were seen fluttering from a line which was wont to sustain duck-trousers. Synopsis Army Life in a Black Regiment was written by Thomas Wentworth Higginson and first published in1869. The story ranges from detailed reports on daily life to a vivid description of the author's near escape from death. When the Civil War broke out, Higginson was commissioned as a colonel of the black troops training in the Sea Islands off the coast of the Carolinas. This book - originally a series of essays - written by Higginson from New England, who was in charge of black troops training off the coast of the Carolinas.
