When Susie King Taylor was born in slavery in 1848, it was illegal to educate African Americans in Georgia but she learned to read and write at a young age than...ks to a secret school. After she fled to Union-controlled St. Simons Island during the U.S. Civil War, her talents brought her to the attention of Union officers who asked the teenager if she would organize a school if they could obtain books and materials. She gladly agreed and, at age 14, Taylor became the first black teacher for freed African-Americans at a freely operating school in Georgia. She taught 40 children in a day school and, as she wrote in her memoir, a number of adults who came to me nights, all of them so eager to learn to read, to read above anything else. Soon after, she married Edward King, an African-American non-commissioned officer stationed there with the First South Carolina Volunteers of African Descent. When the island was evacuated in 1862, she opted to follow his regiment as a nurse. For three years, she served as an unpaid nurse for the regiment, and taught many black soldiers to read and write in their off-duty hours. After the war was over, Taylor and her husband returned to Savannah, Georgia where she established another school for freed African-American children. Sadly, her husband died shortly afterward, and the opening of a free school nearby forced Taylor to close hers. Seeking new opportunities, she traveled to Boston as the domestic servant of a wealthy family and remarried in 1879. More than ten years later -- and over thirty years after the end of the Civil War -- she wrote one of the most detailed memoirs ever written by a woman about life in a Civil War camp. Her memoir, Reminiscences of My Life in Camp with the 33d United States Colored Troops, Late 1st S.C. Volunteers, was also the only memoir ever written by an African-American woman about her experience during the Civil War. In it, Taylor emphasized the important role of black troops, as well as the often unrecognized role that women played during the Civil War: There were loyal women, as well as men, in those days who did not fear the shell or the shot, who cared for the sick and the dying. Susie King Taylor's memoir is still in print - to learn more, visit http://amzn.to/2mrxYR3 To introduce children to her heroic story, check out Memoir of Susie King Taylor: A Civil War Nurse, which uses excerpts from Taylor’s own words to bring Civil War history alive for tweens -- for ages 9 to 12 at https://www.amightygirl.com/memoir-of-susie-king-taylor Susie King Taylor's Civil War contributions are also recounted in the excellent book about 16 women who made a mark during the war: Courageous Women of the Civil War" for ages 12 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/courageous-women-civil-war To introduce children to more pioneering black women throughout history, we highly recommend the inspiring new book "Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History" for ages 7 to 10 at https://www.amightygirl.com/little-leaders And, for hundreds of books about trailblazing women role models from throughout history, visit our "Role Model" biography section at http://amgrl.co/2wRJudE
