The True Story of the Harlem Hellfighters in World War I - Paperback
by Emmett J. Scott (Author)
Originally published in 1919 in the author's larger "The American Negro in the World War," this paperback edition tells the true story of the tough "Harlem Hellfighters," the all-black regiment (369th Infantry Regiment) of the U.S. Army that served with the French against the Germans in World War I-the only regiment that "never lost a man captured, a trench, or a foot of ground."
A son of ex-slaves, Emmett J. Scott (1873-1957) for many years served as confidant, secretary and speechwriter for Booker T. Washington. During World War I he was appointed Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. Other works include "Tuskegee and Its People" and (as co-author) "Booker T. Washington, Builder of a Civilization."
