African or American?: Black Identity and Political Activism in New York City, 1784-1861
History Was Successfully Earned
This quote, from the book, best sums up this story: ... "the private soldier: ' 'He does not expect to see his own name on the title-page of history, and is content with a proper recognition of the old command in which he fought; but he is jealous of the record of his regiment, and demands credit for every shot it faced and every grave it filled.'"
Considering that Captain Emilio (who served with the regiment) set out to document the actions and activities of the regiment during their time of service, the story lacks any real sense of individual personalities except maybe the two primary Colonels who commanded the regiment at the start and end. But as the quote states, it was the regiment's story and not that of any one individual.
Worth the effort to work through the various command assignments and troop movements.
