| Summary | "My Service in the U.S. Colored Cavalry" by Frederick W. Browne is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a detailed personal memoir of Browne’s experiences as a second lieutenant in one of the first colored cavalry regiments during the American Civil War. The book provides insights into the military context of the time, particularly focusing on the challenges and contributions of African American soldiers in the war effort. In this account, Browne narrates his journey from infantry service to his role in the 1st U.S. Colored Cavalry, highlighting key battles, skirmishes, and the daily life of soldiers in the regiment. With vivid descriptions, he recounts significant engagements, including encounters with Confederate troops, challenges faced during marches, and the camaraderie among soldiers. Browne also shares poignant moments of personal victory, such as successfully capturing a well-bred horse, alongside the darker aspects of military life, including conflicts within the ranks and the harsh realities of war. Ultimately, his story reflects the bravery and resilience of Black soldiers during a pivotal period in American history. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
