This article states that there are errors in two books about the Civil War regarding the 3rd United States Colored Troops. The author says that the book "Lancaster County Pennsylvania In The Civil War" confuses the Corps de Afrique's with the 3rd United States Colored Troops. And the author finds that the "History of Lancaster County Pennsylvania" by Ellis and Evans also has errors regarding the 3rd United States Colored Troops. The author provides corrections to both books.
