Blue-Eyed Child of Fortune by Robert Gould Shaw
During the Civil War, black soldiers of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Infantry marched alongside their young white commander, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. Through his letters to family and friends, a portrait emerges of a man more divided and complexthough no less heroicthan the Shaw depicted in the film Glory.Robert Gould Shaw (Author)
