PREFACE
I have been asked many times by my friends, and also by members
of the Grand Army of the Republic and Women’s Relief Corps, to
write a book of my army life, during the war of 1861-65, with the
regiment of the 1st South Carolina Colored Troops, later called 33d
United States Colored Infantry.
At first I did not think I would, but as the years rolled on and my
friends were still urging me to start with it, I wrote to Colonel C. T.
Trowbridge (who had command of this regiment), asking his opinion
and advice on the matter. His answer to me was, “Go ahead! write it;
that is just what I should do, were I in your place, and I will give you
all the assistance you may need, whenever you require it.” This
inspired me very much.
In 1900 I received a letter from a gentleman, sent from the Executive
Mansion at St. Paul, Minn., saying Colonel Trowbridge had told him I
was about to write a book, and when it was published he wanted one
of the first copies. This, coming from a total stranger, gave me more
confidence, so I now present these reminiscences to you, hoping
they may prove of some interest, and show how much service and
good we can do to each other, and what sacrifices we can make for
our liberty and rights, and that there were “loyal women,” as well as
men, in those days, who did not fear shell or shot, who cared for the
sick and dying; women who camped and fared as the boys did, and
who are still caring for the comrades in their declining years.
So, with the hope that the following pages will accomplish some
good and instruction for its readers, I shall proceed with my
narrative.

INTRODUCTION
Actual military life is rarely described by a woman, and this is
especially true of a woman whose place was in the ranks, as the wife
of a soldier and herself a regimental laundress. No such description
has ever been given, I am sure, by one thus connected with a
colored regiment; so that the nearly 200,000 black soldiers (178,975)
of our Civil War have never before been delineated from the
woman’s point of view. All this gives peculiar interest to this little
volume, relating wholly to the career of the very earliest of these
regiments,—the one described by myself, from a wholly different
point of view, in my volume “Army Life in a Black Regiment,” long
since translated into French by the Comtesse de Gasparin under the
title “Vie Militaire dans un Régiment Noir.”
The writer of the present book was very exceptional among the
colored laundresses, in that she could read and write and had taught
children to do the same; and her whole life and career were most
estimable, both during the war and in the later period during which
she has lived in Boston and has made many friends. I may add that I
did not see the book until the sheets were in print, and have left it
wholly untouched, except as to a few errors in proper names. I
commend the narrative to those who love the plain record of simple
lives, led in stormy periods.

LETTER FROM COL. C. T.
TROWBRIDGE
St. Paul, Minn., April 7, 1902.
Mrs. Susan King Taylor:
Dear Madam,—The manuscript of the story of your army life
reached me to-day. I have read it with much care and interest, and I
most willingly and cordially indorse it as a truthful account of your
unselfish devotion and service through more than three long years of
war in which the 33d Regiment bore a conspicuous part in the great
conflict for human liberty and the restoration of the Union. I most
sincerely regret that through a technicality you are debarred from
having your name placed on the roll of pensioners, as an Army
Nurse; for among all the number of heroic women whom the
government is now rewarding, I know of no one more deserving than
yourself.
Yours in F. C. & L.,
C. T. TROWBRIDGE,
Late Lt.-Col. 33d U. S. C. T.
REMINISCENCES
I
A BRIEF SKETCH OF MY ANCESTORS
I was born under the slave law in Georgia, in 1848, and was brought
up by my grandmother in Savannah. There were three of us with her,
my younger sister and brother. My brother and I being the two eldest,
we were sent to a friend of my grandmother, Mrs. Woodhouse, a
widow, to learn to read and write. She was a free woman and lived
on Bay Lane, between Habersham and Price streets, about half a
mile from my house. We went every day about nine o’clock, with our
books wrapped in paper to prevent the police or white persons from
seeing them. We went in, one at a time, through the gate, into the
yard to the L kitchen, which was the schoolroom. She had twenty-
five or thirty children whom she taught, assisted by her daughter,
Mary Jane. The neighbors would see us going in sometimes, but
they supposed we were there learning trades, as it was the custom
to give children a trade of some kind. After school we left the same
way we entered, one by one, when we would go to a square, about a
block from the school, and wait for each other. We would gather
laurel leaves and pop them on our hands, on our way home. I
remained at her school for two years or more, when I was sent to a
Mrs. Mary Beasley, where I continued until May, 1860, when she told
my grandmother she had taught me all she knew, and grandmother
had better get some one else who could teach me more, so I
stopped my studies for a while.
I had a white playmate about this time, named Katie O’Connor, who
lived on the next corner of the street from my house, and who
attended a convent. One day she told me, if I would promise not to
tell her father, she would give me some lessons. On my promise not
to do so, and getting her mother’s consent, she gave me lessons
about four months, every evening. At the end of this time she was
put into the convent permanently, and I have never seen her since.
A month after this, James Blouis, our landlord’s son, was attending
the High School, and was very fond of grandmother, so she asked
him to give me a few lessons, which he did until the middle of 1861,
when the Savannah Volunteer Guards, to which he and his brother
belonged, were ordered to the front under General Barton. In the first
battle of Manassas, his brother Eugene was killed, and James
deserted over to the Union side, and at the close of the war went to
Washington, D. C., where he has since resided.
I often wrote passes for my grandmother, for all colored persons,
free or slaves, were compelled to have a pass; free colored people
having a guardian in place of a master. These passes were good
until 10 or 10.30 p. m. for one night or every night for one month. The
pass read as follows:—
Savannah, Ga., March 1st, 1860.
Pass the bearer —— from 9 to 10.30. p. m.
Valentine Grest.
Every person had to have this pass, for at nine o’clock each night a
bell was rung, and any colored persons found on the street after this
hour were arrested by the watchman, and put in the guard-house
until next morning, when their owners would pay their fines and
release them. I knew a number of persons who went out at any time
at night and were never arrested, as the watchman knew them so
well he never stopped them, and seldom asked to see their passes,
only stopping them long enough, sometimes, to say “Howdy,” and
then telling them to go along.
About this time I had been reading so much about the “Yankees” I
was very anxious to see them. The whites would tell their colored
people not to go to the Yankees, for they would harness them to
carts and make them pull the carts around, in place of horses. I
asked grandmother, one day, if this was true. She replied, “Certainly
not!” that the white people did not want slaves to go over to the
Yankees, and told them these things to frighten them. “Don’t you see
those signs pasted about the streets? one reading, ‘I am a
rattlesnake; if you touch me I will strike!’ Another reads, ‘I am a wild-
cat! Beware,’ etc. These are warnings to the North; so don’t mind
what the white people say.” I wanted to see these wonderful
“Yankees” so much, as I heard my parents say the Yankee was
going to set all the slaves free. Oh, how those people prayed for
freedom! I remember, one night, my grandmother went out into the
suburbs of the city to a church meeting, and they were fervently
singing this old hymn,—
“Yes, we all shall be free,
Yes, we all shall be free,
Yes, we all shall be free,
When the Lord shall appear,”—
when the police came in and arrested all who were there, saying
they were planning freedom, and sang “the Lord,” in place of
“Yankee,” to blind any one who might be listening. Grandmother
never forgot that night, although she did not stay in the guard-house,
as she sent to her guardian, who came at once for her; but this was
the last meeting she ever attended out of the city proper.
On April 1, 1862, about the time the Union soldiers were firing on
Fort Pulaski, I was sent out into the country to my mother. I
remember what a roar and din the guns made. They jarred the earth
for miles. The fort was at last taken by them. Two days after the
taking of Fort Pulaski, my uncle took his family of seven and myself
to St. Catherine Island. We landed under the protection of the Union
fleet, and remained there two weeks, when about thirty of us were
taken aboard the gunboat P——, to be transferred to St. Simon’s
Island; and at last, to my unbounded joy, I saw the “Yankee.”
After we were all settled aboard and started on our journey, Captain
Whitmore, commanding the boat, asked me where I was from. I told
him Savannah, Ga. He asked if I could read; I said, “Yes!” “Can you
write?” he next asked. “Yes, I can do that also,” I replied, and as if he
had some doubts of my answers he handed me a book and a pencil
and told me to write my name and where I was from. I did this; when
he wanted to know if I could sew. On hearing I could, he asked me to
hem some napkins for him. He was surprised at my
accomplishments (for they were such in those days), for he said he
did not know there were any negroes in the South able to read or
