SIDELIGHTS ON NEGRO SOLDIERS.

By: Charles H. Williams.

Pub: B. J. Brimmer Co.: 1923, first edition stated, 248 pages, with an
Introduction by Benjamin Brawley.  The author was a special investigator of
conditions among Negro soldiers in the World War.   "It is the purpose of
this book to tell something of the achievement of the Negro soldier in the
World War and to describe the conditions under which he lived as these were
seen by the writer, who for eighteen months investigated conditions in
American France under the auspices of the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America and of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, with the recommendation of
the Secretary of War and the Adjutant General of the United States Army.
Most of the information was secured by visits to the soldiers in the camps,
by interviews with thousand of them, and by personal investigation in the
communities adjacent to the camps, as well as by the study of records and
documents. Camp commanders, officers in charge of Negro troops,
representatives of all the welfare organizations, city officials, and both
Negro and white civilizations, city officials, and both Negro and white
civilians were consulted in the effort to secure the facts concerning the
fighting record, the work, the conduct, and the treatment of Negro soldiers
in the course of the war."  FINE- HARDCOVER, ex-library withdrawn from Clark
University. The book was given to the library by Chester D. Heywood,
