Then they had to return on foot to St. Augustine 80 miles from the raid site, knowing an accomplished Confederate cavalry unit would be hot on their trail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Black raiders planned the operation, employed their own strategy, led by a Black Sergeant-Major - no White officer - and carried out the mission. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy? Everyone knew that the war was almost over. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey sought to do what White commanders never had-to succeed where others failed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"White-washed\" by Confederacy apologists, this book uses a range of sources to reveal a clearer story of this amazing raid by courageous, determined men. This odd raid is a keystone event in the Black soldier's journey to gain acceptance, parity, and respect in the White man's army. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the third edition.
