Colored Infantry Civil War
Regiment Coloed Infantry
102D U.S.
"You have already heard, no doubt, that another expedition has been set on foot in this department, the object of which is to interrupt the Savannah and Charleston railroad, and, if possible, destroy it altogether. The expedition numbered, all told, about 6,000 men, mostly colored troops. It landed at first on what is called Boyd's Bluff, a neck of land nearly opposite to Port Royal Ferry. Our forces advanced along this neck of land for several miles in the direction of Gorhamsville, which is a station on the above mentioned road.
