Additional Details



A glowing recommendation by Major General Weitzel regarding the valor of the colored troops at Olustee, Petersburg, Deep Bottom, the Mine, and other battles, stating that their actions in the field, "settled the question as to the capacity of the colored man to make a good soldier . . . the commanding general has no doubt that in their future conduct as private citizens at home, they will, by their good behavior, preserve untarnished the brilliant record they have made in the army."
