In volume one, Daniels described his Civil War service with an African American regiment, the U.S. Army 2nd Native Guard Infantry Regiment, chiefly while stationed at Ship Island, Miss., and his time in New Orleans, La., during the summer and fall of 1863. In volume two, Daniels discussed military, political, and social affairs in Washington, D.C., during his years in the capital, 1863-1865. Subjects include civil rights, creation of the Freedmen's Bureau (U.S. Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands) in March 1864, radical Republicans, and the theater.
Volume three was written primarily by Daniels's wife, the Spiritualist medium Cora Hatch (Cora L. V. Richmond). Topics include the Freedmen's Bureau, speaking engagements at African American churches in Washington, D.C., a visit with her family in Cuba, N.Y., and a lecture tour of the Midwest.
