“Daniel
Biddle and Murray Dubin have brought to life a leader of the Civil War-era struggle
against slavery and for equal rights for blacks. This dramatic book not only
rescues the intrepid Octavius Catto from obscurity but reminds us that this
struggle—and the violent opposition to it—long predated the modern civil rights
era.“
- Eric Foner, DeWitt Clinton Professor of History, Columbia University
