Meet the Author: John Rees

Stop by the Museum’s rotunda to meet John Rees, coauthor of the upcoming book, Don Troiani’s Black Soldiers in America’s Wars: 1754 – 1865, which combines Don Troiani’s art with Rees’s narrative and 43 artwork captions covering the four wars the book spans. Using many primary sources, Rees provides a picture of Black soldiers’ service in America’s military over 111 years, with discussions of integration, segregation, and exclusion during that period.
