Mass market paperback. Condition: Good. Jon Tapp (Cover illustration) (illustrator). 18 cm, 99 pages. Wraps, illus., maps, footnotes, covers somewhat worn and soiled, date stamped on bottom edge. Inscribed by author on t-p. The Battle of Honey Hill was the third battle of Sherman's March to the Sea, fought November 30, 1864, during the American Civil War. It did not involve Major General William T. Sherman's main force, marching from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia, but was a failed Union Army expedition under Brig. Gen. John P. Hatch that attempted to cut off the Charleston and Savannah Railroad in support of Sherman's projected arrival in Savannah. At Honey Hill, a few miles from Grahamville, Hatch encountered a Confederate force of regulars and militia, under Col. Colcock, with a battery of seven guns. Determined attacks were launched by U.S. Colored Troops including a brigade led by Alfred S. Hartwell that included the 54th and 55th Massachusetts. Hatch lost 89 men killed, 629 wounded, and 28 missing. The Confederates lost eight killed and 39 wounded. The 55th Massachusetts Regiment's (Colored) Journey South to Fight the Civil War That Toppled the Institution of Slavery. The 55th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment was the sister regiment of the renowned Massachusetts 54th Volunteers during the latter half of the American Civil War. The enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation by United States President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863 had opened the way for the enlistment of free men of color and newly liberated slaves to fight for their freedom within the Union Army. As the ranks of the 54th Massachusetts quickly reached its full complement of recruits, an overflow of colored volunteers continued to pour in from several other states outside Massachusetts-many of whom simply had not arrived in time-prompting Governor John Albion Andrew to authorize yet another regiment of colored soldiers sponsored by the Commonwealth. Thus, the 55th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry came into being. First paperback edition, presumed first printing.
