Opis

In a series of columns published in the African American newspaper The Christian Recorder, the charismatic preacher Henry McNeal Turner described his experience of the Civil War, first from the perspective of a civilian observer in Washington, D.C., and later as one of the Union army's first black chaplains. Freedom's Witness restores this important figure to the historical and literary record.
