Description:
Only two months after his marriage, twenty-six-year-old Robert Gould Shaw, the commander of the Union Army's vanguard black regiment, gave his life to the cause of freedom. These letters portray the celebrated abolitionist hero in his own words, revealing a man sometimes very different from the Shaw lauded in art, poetry, and film. Shaw's frank and eloquent descriptions of his coming of age in upper-class Boston circles and in two years of battle vividly detail the transformation of a cosmopolitan son into a disciplined and devoted soldier.
