Requests:  0 Summary:  Describes the Civil War battle of Morris Island, South Carolina, during which Sargeant William H. Carney became the first African American to earn a Congressional Medal of Honor by preserving the flag. In July 1863, a significant battle in the Civil War was fought. Sergeant William H. Carney, an officer of the newly formed Massachusetts Fifty-fourth Regiment - comprised entirely of African Americans - led his soldiers over the ramparts of Fort Wagner, where Union soldiers charged the Confederates. As the soldiers fought, they gained strength from the stars and stripes of the American flag, Old Glory. It was Carney's vow to never let Old Glory touch the ground, and despite several gunshot wounds, he was able to rescue the flag from the fallen bearer. Carney held the flag high as a symbol that his regiment would never submit to the Confederacy. The battle of Fort Wagner decimated the Fifty-fourth Regiment, but Carney's heroism that night inspired all who survived.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 973.734 Cl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 973.734 Cl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 973.734 Clinton Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 973.734 Cl Checked out 05/16/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 973.734 Cl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 973.734 Cl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
