The National Park Service book Asians and Pacific Islanders and the Civil War is now free to read online.
The book is available to read for free here. Thanks to Irving Moy for letting me know about this.
Asians and Pacific Islanders and the Civil War edited by Carol A. Shively is a colorful and interesting introduction to the participation of Asian immigrants in the Civil War. This is similar in layout to other National Park Service guides to Civil War-related topics. If you have been to the bookstores at Gettysburg or Antietam, you have seen these guides with lots of pictures and accessible text. It is beautifully illustrated, and because of its high graphic content it is very accessible for middle school and high school students, but it will not disappoint adults.
