Diary of a Contraband: The Civil War Passage of a Black Sailor by William B. Gould IV Seeking freedom under the cover of darkness on September 21, 1862, eight slaves rowed a boat 21 miles down the Cape Fear River from Wilmington, NC, to the Atlantic Ocean. It was daybreak when they reached the mouth of the river where the U.S.S. Cambridge, a U.S. Navy ship blockading the Confederate fort there picked them up. Once on board the slaves were termed "contrabands of war". They were offered a chance to join the U.S. Navy and fight in the Civil War. One of them, William B. Gould a literate slave, would keep a diary of his Civil War service. His Great Grandson William B. Gould IV recently published this diary as Diary of a Contraband: The Civil War Passage of a Black Sailor.
