Henry Ossian Flipper: The Colored Cadet At West Point is a memoir written by Henry Ossian Flipper, the first African American to graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point. The book details Flipper's experiences as a cadet at West Point, including the challenges he faced as a black man in a predominantly white institution during the late 19th century. Flipper recounts his struggles with racism, discrimination, and isolation, as well as his triumphs and successes as a student and leader. The book also provides insight into the social and political climate of the time, including the aftermath of the Civil War and the Reconstruction era. Overall, Henry Ossian Flipper: The Colored Cadet At West Point is a powerful and inspiring story of perseverance, determination, and achievement in the face of adversity.An officer who was in his tent near by came out and ordered me to be put under guard in one of the guard tents, where I was kept until next morning, when I was put 'in arrest.' Wilson was taken to the hospital, where he stayed two or three weeks, and as soon as he returned to duty he was also placed in arrest. This was made the subject for a court-martial, and that court-martial will form the subject of my next communication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
