""Images of soldiers, their uniforms, their badges, flags and weapons are a major part of this book, which is skillfully illustrated. The author's accounts of military divisions and battles along with personal statements of soldiers and their leaders are a tribute to the research and skills of writer Rees and illustrator Troiani."" -- ""The Bucks County Herald"" ""Unique, exceptionally, impressively informative, expertly organized and presented, Don Troiani's Black Soldiers in America's Wars: 1754 - 1865 is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, and college/university library Black/African-American Military History collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists.""-- ""Midwest Book Review"" ""Black soldiers have been a constant but ghostly presence in all of America's conflicts from Lexington and Concord onward, ignored by most artists and overlooked, until recently, by most historians. This handsome volume helps bring them back to life. It authoritatively chronicles all that they did and shows us the things they carried and the uniforms they proudly wore."" --Geoffrey C. Ward, co-author of The Civil War, The War, and The Vietnam War
