Item Details

Description

Letter written by Lt. Adam Kreps of the 92nd United States Colored Troops (USCT), dated March 14th, 1864. In the letter, Kreps describes African-American soldiers under his command and Confederate "rebel" reactions upon seeing them. Kreps writes "When we left the darkies were coming in at the rate of 50 per day. I think there are a great many rebels in St. Louis. I could see it in their countenance a we passed to the boat. There was a perfect scowl on a great many of their faces. The reason of it was that a great many of the boys had belonged to them at one time or another…”
