Synopsis

Excerpt from Gideon Bands for Work Within the Race and for Work Without the Race: A Message to the Colored People of the United States

Gideon''s Band was a body of men gotten together, in View of the distressing circumstances here set forth for the purpose of fighting the enemy, of shaking off the yoke of the oppressor. Let us study these men for a moment. There were three hundred of them in all. So far as the record goes not one of their names has been preserved to us, save that of the leader only. The names are all omitted, but the qualities that characterized them are pre= served. We are not told who they were, but we are told What kind of men they were: and it is to this point particularly that I desire to direct attention just here. A careful study of what is written here in regard to these men will reveal the following facts about them.
