Major General Alfred H. Terry is primarily known (by very few people) as the commander of the 1876 Yellowstone Expedition against the Sioux Indians that resulted in the disastrous defeat at the Little Bighorn, costing George Armstrong Custer and over 200 of his men their lives. But Terry was a stalwart field commander in the American Civil War and would go on to be the only non-West-Point general of the Indian Wars. In this short but very interesting account, Terry's command of an important event of the Civil War is related. Terry's own official report is included, as well as Arthur Osborne's analysis of why the battle was important. The fall of Fort Fisher is an event portrayed in Steven Spielberg's great film, "Lincoln." As Lincoln and Stanton wait in the War Department telegraph office for news of the assault on Fisher, Lincoln tells a humorous story of Ethan Allen in London.

P>The only comprehensive account of the Battle of Fort Fisher and the basis for the television documentary Confederate Goliath, Rod Gragg's award-winning book chronicles in detail one of the most dramatic events of the American Civil War. Known as "the Gibraltar of the South," Fort Fisher was the largest, most formidable coastal fortification in the Confederacy, by late 1864 protecting its lone remaining seaport -- Wilmington, North Carolina. Gragg's powerful, fast-paced narrative recounts the military actions, politicking, and personality clashes involved in this unprecedented land and sea battle. It vividly describes the greatest naval bombardment of the war and shows how the fort's capture in January 1865 hastened the South's surrender three months later. In his foreword, historian Edward G. Longacre surveys Gragg's work in the context of Civil War history and literature, citing Confederate Goliath as "the finest book-length account of a significant but largely forgotten episode in our nation's most critical conflict."

Each of these essays illuminates an important dimension of the complex array of Black male experiences as workers, artists, warriors, and leaders. The essays describe the expectations and demands to struggle, to resist, and facilitate the survival of African American culture and community. Black manhood was shaped not only in relation to Black womanhood, but was variously nurtured and challenged, honed and transformed against a backdrop of white male power and domination, and the relentless expectations and demands on them to struggle, resist, and to facilitate the survival of African-American culture and community.
