Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Negro as a Soldier in the War of the Rebellion Once upon a time, at our old home in Philadelphia, there were two little girls whose names were Rebecca and Rosa. They had Caucasian features, an abundance of long wavy hair, and complexions that were suggestive merely of a clime sunnier than our own. Taking one of their hands into your own, your eye might have discovered at the finger tips a color of a darker hue than the other parts. It was the fatal single drop of negro blood that cursed the whole beautiful fabric and made it possible for these children to be fugitive slaves. Hid away in the barn of our country residence was another fugitive, - a tall, lithe, muscular man, black as anthracite, Daniel Dangerfield by name, now forgotten no doubt, but they enjoying for a brief period a national reputation. The police force of Philadelphia was watching for that man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
