AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, MISSOURI. Descriptive Recruitment Lists of Volunteers for the U.S. Colored Troops - Missouri, 1863-1865. 

Basic information about this microfilm set which records the recruitment of 5,000+ African Americans who enlisted in Missouri Colored Volunteers during 1863-1865. The microfilms contain records of the African American men in Missouri, most of whom were slaves, who enlisted in the United States Colored Troops between 1863 and 1865. When the volunteer was a slave, the record also includes information about his former slave owner.

Slave Voices from the Special Collections Library probes the life experiences of American slaves from the late eighteenth century through the nineteenth century. The exhibit "showcases the kinds of rare materials that under scrutiny reveal the ambitions, motivations, and struggles of people often presumed mute," according to an online description published at http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/slavery/.
