Sinopsis

Thomas Wentworth Higginson, a Unitarian minister, was a fervent member of new EnglandâÇÖs abolitionist movement, an active participant in the Underground Railroad, and part of a group that supplied material aid to John Brown before his ill-fated raid on Harpers Ferry. 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.Shaped by American Romanticism and imbued with HigginsonâÇÖs interest in both man and nature,áArmy Life in a Black Regimentáranges from detailed reports on daily life to a vivid description of the authorâÇÖs near escape from cannon fire, to sketches that conjure up the beauty and mystery of the Sea Islands.áThis edition also features a selection of HigginsonâÇÖs essays, including 'Nat TurnerâÇÖs Insurrection' and 'Emily DickinsonâÇÖs Letters.'For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
