About the Topic:
Siblings Donna and William Burtch are the authors of W.G. - the Opium-Addicted Pistol Toting Preacher Who Raised the First Federal African-American Union Troops, which is the story of William Gould Raymond, a little-known history of the Civil War that is well worth telling. W.G. was appointed by Lincoln as chaplain of the U.S. Hospital in Washington, DC in 1862, and he is one of the original advocates of enlisting African-American troops into the Union Army.
