(listed), index, 343pp. Very Good+ (almost Near Fine). A facsimile reprint of the 1898 original regimental history of this black artillery unit. Other than 3 soldiers captured and then executed by the Confederates, the unit suffered significant casualties from disease. Interesting contemporary account of black artillery regiment that spent the Civil War on fortification garrision in Louisiana and Texas. From Frank Grzyb, in "Small State - Big History": "No better example of the black experience in the Civil War can be found than that of the Fourteenth Regiment Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, for the unit epitomized the average black regiment during the war. Before the war ended and because of numerous reorganizations with other black regiments, the Fourteenth carried five different titles, all sanctioned by the Secretary of War: the Fourteenth Rhode Island Heavy Artillery, the Fourteenth Rhode Island Heavy Artillery Corps d Afrique, the Eighth U.S. Heavy Artillery (Colored), the Eighth U.S. Colored Artillery (Heavy), and, finally, the Eleventh U.S. Colored Artillery (Heavy). Once in Louisiana, the units were stationed at Camp Parapet, near New Orleans. For the next few months the green troops laboriously slashed down swamp grass and built fortifications. The 14th Rhode Island eventually garrisoned numerous remote federal outposts, most of which were in the swamps. Bad water, fever, mosquitoes and poisonous snakes plagued the regiment. Indeed, duty in this godforsaken land of swamps and bayous was considered one of the most ill-fated assignments a regiment could receive. It is conceivable that the black regiment was assigned to the Louisiana swamps because white units would have rebelled against such a directive. Perhaps white commanders thought that black soldiers could more readily adapt to this harsh environment.".…

CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: No better example of the black experience in the Civil War can be found than that of the Fourteenth Regiment Rhode Island Heavy Artillery. In June 1863 Governor Smith received permission from the War Department to form a 'colored' heavy artillery company. Rhode Island was the first state to issue such a call, and the response was overwhelming. The rolls were quickly filled and by September it increased to the size of a full regiment. As with most black regiments of the time, all of the Fourteenth's field and staff officers were white men. In December 1863, the 14th RI's First Battalion was ordered to Louisiana, soon joined by the Second and Third. The Battalions did not take part in any major battles, but were under constant threat while they guarded forts and patrolled local communities. In August 1864, a Confederate party boldly raided a detachment of the regiment camped at Plaquemine, Louisiana. The Union soldiers offered little, if any, resistance and the surprise attack quickly turned into an embarrassing rout. In a matter of minutes, three privates were captured. On the following day, in the nearby town of Indian Village, fifteen miles southwest of Baton Rouge, all three men were ruthlessly executed, becoming the only men from the regiment to be killed by Confederate soldiers. On several occasions they skirmished with Confederate soldiers, suffering numerous casualties. However, most casualties came from disease that ran rampant through their ranks during their tour of duty. On April 4, 1864, while the Battalions were in Louisiana, the War Department re-designated all state regiments composed of soldiers of African descent as US Army regiments. The 14th RI was designated the U.S. 8th Heavy Artillery April 4, 1864, and re-designated as the 11th Heavy Artillery May 21, 1864.

"In an attempt to prove their worth as soldiers and to defeat the slave-holding South, both northern and southern blacks enlisted by droves in the Union army. Naturally, they also wanted to be active in securing the emancipation of slaves and ending slavery as an institution. When Colonel Thomas J. Morgan of the Fourteenth Regiment Rhode Island Heavy Artillery took the opportunity to ask one of his black soldiers why he wanted to fight when he might very well lose his life, the artilleryman replied, "But my people will be free." - Small State Big History Original red cloth with gilt titling.
