Shepard, Ray Anthony Now or Never! 54th
Massachusetts Infantry’s War to End Slavery, 127 pages. NON-FICTION. Calkins Creek, 2017. $18.
During the Civil War a small amount of free African
Americans, or even freed Southern slaves, joined the Union Army in order to help
end the war between the states and hopefully put an end to slavery.
Students who have seen the movie “Glory” and want to know
more about the 54th, will find this a hearty non-fiction source of
information. My honors US History
teacher has students read a non-fiction book each quarter, so I am eager to add
this to the collection. Shepard’s
research is meticulous and interesting.
MS, HS – ADVISABLE.
