Black Soldiers in Jim Crow Texas: 1899-1917 is an historical look at the racism African American troops encountered in Texas during their service to the United States between the times of the Spanish-American War to World War I. Following four different regiments of black soldiers, author Garna L. Christian compiles many unique resources to describe the different obstacles presented to them within their own nation. From clashing with white Texans to Hispanic populations, life was anything but easy for these soldiers. Its an interesting look at military history and race relations in the United States at the turn of the century.
