And especially, when we had to throw into the field raw and undisciplined recruits against the most able and efficiently drilled regiments?To me it seems that reason, prudence, and judgment, aided by the present signs of the times, would indicate that the available muscle, the bone and sinew of our colored inhabitants of the city and county of Philadelphia should be encouraged in their (already manifest) patriotic efforts in preparing to sustain and defend the soil and interests of their native State.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
