Work in Progress From Thomas Martin Saturday

​I'm at work in the early stages of writing my third novel, Give Us A Flag, where Ellis and Eaton witness the largest gathering of Freedmen hearing the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation four thousand strong, at Camp Saxton, in Port Royal, South Carolina.  On the first day of January 1863 black hopes of having black men as U.S. soldiers were realized there as the First South Carolina Vol.unteers received their flags and became official a Federal regiment of U.S. infantry, and commanded by Boston Blue Blood, Thomas Wentworth Higgonson.  There is strange activity going on way up the Combahee River where Confederates are in strength and ironworkers from the Treadager Works in Richmond are bulding something but what is?
