In den WarenkorbZustand: Very Good. First Edition. [Original Civil War Muster document from the U.S. Colored Troops, with a related print from Harper's] 16 x 26 cm. Dated Aug. 12, 1863. Document states that William Cribbs (unknown-1/1/1865) was mustered into service as a Private in company D of the 6th Regiment U.S. Colored Troops for a service… of three years. Signed by Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Rob" Beath (1/29/1839-11/25/1914) who lost his leg during the battle of Chaffin's Farm (New Market Heights) where 32 men entered the fray and returned with three, marking the greatest average company loss of any troops in the course of the Civil War. The Document is also signed by First Lieutenant John B. Johnson (1845-unknown). Document has a handsome illustration of a Union soldier with a bayonet and a tent with an American flag in the background. Grouped with the Muster Card is a woodcut engraving labeled "Negro Recruits at Charleston" from Harper's Weekly, April 1, 1865 (11 x 18 cm). The engraving shows a group of dignified Black Union soldiers welcoming a group of harried and barefoot ex-slaves. Private William Cribbs listed in this document died at U.S. General Hospital at Point of Rocks from Chronic Diarrhea. Charleston was one of if not the largest slave entry port. Nearly 3 out of every four enslaved African entering through Charleston. It was the only American city during the Antebellum period to have a majority slave population. After the city's capture in 1865, it was put under guardianship by the 21s Infantry of the U.S. Colored Troops, which was mostly made up of locally recruited formerly enslaved persons. Freed persons and runaway slaves from across the countryside flocked to the city, many of which joined up with black regiments there. Camp William Penn, Chelton Hills, Pa. was the first and largest federal training camp dedicated to African American Troops during the Civil War. Approximately 11,00 freedmen and escaped slaves trained there to make up 11 regiments. The Sixth regiment traveled the furthest of these units, participating in the Richmond - Petersburg Campaign and Sherman's Carolinas' campaign. The Sixth was also a vital component of the Battle of Chaffin's farm, during which is had a 57% casualty rate. Of the 18 Metals of Honor awarded to black soldiers during the Civil War, fourteen were earned by soldiers who fought at New Market Heights, two of which were from the 6th Regiment.
