Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, 1863
Robert Gould Shaw is best remembered in history as the brave colonel who led the 54th Massachusetts in their fearless charge at Fort Wagner. But what makes him an extraordinary individual lies beyond this noble deed. In what would be a few months with the regiment, Shaw's remarkable personal growth found him transformed from "an ordinary mortal" to a compassionate and selfless leader who "laid down his life" for his men and "for a race." This is what makes him a true hero. dragoon1st.tripod.com/cw/files/rgs1.html[dragoon1st.tripod.com/cw/files/rgs1.html] "He Laid Down His Life for a Race"(pop-ups)
