About this book

"Camp William Penn was the largest and first Civil War facility to exclusively train Northern-based federal black soldiers during the war. Located in Chelten Hills just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the 19th-century's epicenter of the Underground Railroad.... At a time when America's very existence was threatened, the warriors and freedom fighters for human equality associated with Camp William Penn were a major part of the country's salvation. The complete story is told here."--Jacket.
