Editorial Reviews

Review

An excellent work of scholarship by a top flight historian. I am deeply impressed by the detective work that went into discovering Galloway’s story.–Edward E. Baptist, Cornell University

From the Inside Flap

Abraham H. Galloway (1837-70) was a fiery young slave rebel, radical abolitionist, and Union spy who rose out of bondage to become one of the most significant and stirring black leaders in the South during the Civil War. Throughout his brief, mercurial life, Galloway fought against slavery and injustice. This riveting portrait illuminates Galloway’s life and deepens our insight into the Civil War and Reconstruction as experienced by African Americans in the South.
