Description from Ken: "For those that told me "Oh, the Civil War didn't mean anything to Montana," I challenge you to read the stories of these Black Civil War veterans that came to frontier Montana Territory after the Civil War. I'm so pleased to be able to present a few of their stories. I researched all 36 that I found came to Montana, and that was a huge challenge. Some stories soared with success despite the racial deck being stacked against them. And then there were those with stories of sadness and failure. Only one of them, escaped my research talent--his name was just too common to be confident I could learn his story. Here's to the heroes who fought the good fight for their freedom, came to frontier Montana, and left their mark."
