The regiment drawn largely from freedmen and liberated slaves in the Middle Atlantic and New England states served in Maj. Gen. Benjamin F.

The 4th United States Colored Troops (USCT) regiment saw considerable action in the eastern theater of operations from late 1863 to mid-1865. The regiment--drawn largely from freedmen and liberated slaves in the Middle Atlantic and New England states--served in Maj. Gen. Benjamin F. Butler's Army of the James, whose mission was to capture the Confederate capital at Richmond. From May to December 1864, the 4th saw action in the Bermuda Hundred and Richmond-Petersburg campaigns, and in early 1865 helped capture the defenses of Wilmington, North Carolina, the last open seaport of value to the Confederacy.

Citing recently discovered and previously unpublished accounts, author Edward G. Longacre goes beyond the battlefield heroics of the 4th USCT, blending his unique insights into political and social history to analyze the motives, goals, and aspirations of the African American enlisted men. The author also emphasizes how these soldiers overcame what one of their commanders called "stupid, unreasoning, and quite vengeful prejudice" and shows how General Butler, a supporter of black troops, gave the unit opportunities to prove itself in battle, resulting in a combat record of which any infantry regiment, black or white, could be proud.

It works for a key holder, but if the keys are heavy, you may have a problem.

Exactly what I was looking for
Color: Black Frame
I wanted to get something to help organize my everyday items without looking too tacky. I love the simplicity and sleek design. The dividers allow me to section off certain items while keeping everything in one place. The quality of the materials look and feel sturdy with an elegant touch.

Useful, Nicely-Designed Organizational Tray
Color: Black Frame
Purchased on behalf of another person, when asked they stated they adored this dresser tray. They found it the right size to hold everything they needed it to, a helpful way to stay organized, and easy to move and use. The price is what made them purchase it but they found it to be of a nice quality once they got it set up and have been using it daily ever since. Would recommend.

Stylish, well sized valet tray. Would highly recommend
Color: Brown Frame
Stylish valet for your dresser, desk or wherever you would like to place it. I got tired (and so did my wife) of me just emptying my pockets on the dresser at the end of each day. Junk would accumulate, change would accumulate and everything was all spread out. This tray is stylish and made of good quality leather. I really like the different size partitions making its storage capacity perfect and done so neatly. Now my items are organized and easy to grab the next day making it functional at the same time.
