Research is a lot like detective work, and doing research in African American history can be even more challenging. You know Black folks were there, but since they are often missing from the traditional history, one must do extra hunting and tease out the Black facts. To discover this interesting gem, I began with curiosity about Jefferson Barracks, which led to a booklet, Jefferson Barracks: A Celebration of the Citizen Soldier. Turning the pages looking for anything about African Americans, I came across a picture of a lone Black soldier; I was intrigued by the term "The Immunes" in the caption, wondering if Black soldiers had been thought "immune" to one of the diseases rampant in 1898, such as Yellow Fever or Cholera. Poking around a little more with different keyword searching turned up this fascinating audio file/article from NPR.
This is not an unusual experience in hunting for African American history.
