Thomas Wentworth Higginson was a politically engaged intellectual at the forefront of antislavery, labour and feminist causes. Born in 1823 to a formerly wealthy but still prominent Brahmin family, he became one of America's foremost social activists and a leading writer, minister and reformer. With the publication in 1869 of his "Army Life in a Black Regiment", Higginson became an important chronicler of the American Civil War. This work is a comprehensive edition of his journal. Annotated by Christopher Looby and including a selection of Higginson's wartime letters, the volume offers a picture of the radical interracial solidarity brought about by the transformative experience of the army camp and of Civil War life.
