Summary "History of Negro Soldiers in the Spanish-American War, and Other Items of Interest" by Edward A. Johnson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the contributions and experiences of African American soldiers during the Spanish-American War, emphasizing their crucial roles in significant battles such as El Caney and San Juan Hill. It likely aims to shed light on their bravery and the broader context of racial dynamics at the time, countering prevailing narratives that sought to diminish their contributions. The opening of the book outlines the causes leading up to the Spanish-American War, detailing events that stirred American public sentiment, such as the handling of Cuban insurgents by Spanish forces and the tragic sinking of the battleship Maine. It highlights the African American soldier's engagement in the war, particularly through the experiences of the 25th Infantry and various cavalry units. The narrative begins to illustrate the valor of these soldiers amidst trials, referencing prominent figures like General Antonio Maceo, and sets the stage for exploring their fight for recognition in American history. Overall, the introduction serves as a foundation for discussing both the military and social implications of African American soldiers during this pivotal moment in U.S. history.
