The Battle of New Market Heights: Freedom Will Be Theirs by the Sword - Hardcover

Price, James S.: - James S. Price is a Civil War historian, blogger and educator who specializes in the history of African American Union soldiers. He has worked for many Civil War sites and museums, including Petersburg National Battlefield, Pamplin Historical Park and the American Civil War Center at historic Tredegar. In 2009, he received his MA in military history from Norwich University. For the past three years, he has dedicated himself to the study of the Battle of New Market Heights and has sought to raise awareness of this important battle by leading specialized tours of the preserved portions of the battlefield, lecturing throughout the metro Richmond area on the topic and writing about different aspects of the battle on his weblog, the Sable Arm: A Blog Dedicated to the United States Colored Troops of the Civil War Era (http: //sablearm.blogspot.com). It is his hope that by raising public awareness of the services rendered by United States Colored Troops, the fields on which they fought will be preserved for future generations.
