Inhaltsangabe

"It's all about Guts" gives an insight into the soldiers of the 135th United States Colored Troop, and the stories of their life in service. It tells their stories through the actual pension records of the men, their wives, friends and other men in the Regiment who served with them. The book documents their backgrounds, where they came from, who they married, their wives, and the families of the men. Many lived to a ripe old age. The majority were born in the 1840s, some before, and they lived into the 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, and even 1930s. The book tells the story "In Their Own Words." This has been a forgotten and hidden history for over `150 Years.
