About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Colored Regulars in the United States Army by Theophilus Gould Steward. Read in English by tombooker. The material out of which the story of the COLORED REGULARS has been constructed has been collected with great pains, and upon it has been expended a serious amount of labor and care. All the movements of the Cuban campaign, and particularly of the battles, have been carefully studied by the aid of official reports, and conversations and correspondence with those who participated in them. The work has been performed with an earnest desire to obtain and present the truth, hoping that the reader will be inspired by it to a more profound respect for the brave and skilled black men who passed through that severe baptism of fire and suffering, contributing their full share to their country's honor. (From the Author's Preface)
