“No more striking example of bravery and coolness had been shown since the destruction of the Maine than by the colored veterans of the Tenth Cavalry during the attack upon San Juan:  Firing as they marched, their aim was splendid, their coolness was superb, and their courage aroused the admiration of their comrades.  Their advance was greeted with wild cheers from the white regiments, and with answering shouts they had taken in close pursuit of the retreating enemy.  The war has not shown greater heroism.  The men whose own freedom was baptized in blood have proved themselves capable of giving up their lives that others may be free!”  - New York Mail and Express
