Searching for letters, journals, and other personal documents referencing the life and military service of Pvt. Hubbard D. Pryor, who served in Company A of the Forty-fourth U.S. Colored Infantry. A slave in Polk County, Georgia, he escaped and joined the Union army in 1864. He lived in Texas after the war. His story has been told in several books and articles, and his photograph widely published:
