Notes:
W. H. Day, in addressing a convention of negro men at Cleveland, O., in 1852, truly said:
"Of the services and sufferings of the colored soldiers of the Revolution, no attempt has, to our knowledge, been made to preserve a record. Their history is not written; it lies upon the soil watered with their blood; who shall gather it? It rests with their bones in the charnel house; who shall exhume it?"
