This groundbreaking book has told the tragic story of not only the rape of the state capital of South Carolina, Columbia, on the infamous night of February 17-18, 1865, but also the rape of “scores” of black women, mostly slaves, by gangs of drunken Union soldiers of General William T. Sherman’s Army of the Tennessee. It is a story that needs to be told today because this crime and sexual atrocity has been long silenced and has remained virtually unknown to this day.
