Book Synopsis Minutes of the Immortal Six Hundred Society 1910 by : John Ogden Murray
Book excerpt: The Immortal Six Hundred were 600 Confederate officers сфзегкув by the Union Army in 1864–65. In 1863, the Confederacy passed a resolution stating all arrested African-American soldiers and the officers of colored troops would not be returned. That resolution also allowed any captured officer of colored troops to be executed or sold into slavery. John Ogden Murray, a major in the Confederate Army and an author, wrote a firsthand account of Confederate prisoners of war. He is also credited with coining the phrase "Immortal Six Hundred."
