Public historian, personal research interests: Reconstruction, borderlands history, and the military experiences of Black Americans. Views expressed here are my own.
Previous scholarship on Black troops has often emphasized Black combat units, but in reality, 80 percent of the 1.2 million Black Americans who served in the military served in support units. A book focusing on these kinds of units was long overdue.
