Interview with Ian Michael Spurgeon Coming Soon!

Recently, I finished reading the much anticipated Soldiers In The Army of Freedom: The 1^st Kansas Colored, The Civil War’s First African American Combat Unit by Ian Michael Spurgeon. The 1^st Kansas Colored Infantry had a distinguished combat record and was the only regiment that served solely in the trans-Mississippi to be selected as one of Fox’s “300 Fighting Regiments.” The regiment has been long deserving of a full-length book, and Ian Spurgeon did an outstanding job of telling its story. He readily agreed to participate in a question and answer session for this blog, and the interview will appear in two parts. The first part will be posted tomorrow!
