Six months in the Freedmen's Bureau with a colored regiment

Trowbridge shares his experiences commanding the 33rd United States Colored Troop regiment (formerly the 1st South Carolina Volunteer Infantry), which was assigned to Anderson and Pickens Counties in S.C. in 1865. He specifically recounts his impression of Col. John C. Calhoun (the son of U.S. Sen. John C. Calhoun), his regiment's travels in the state following the Civil War, and the attempted annihilation of his regiment by ex-Confederate soldier and criminal Manson Sherrill Jolly (here identified as Mance Jolly).
