 Henry Grimes Marshall Papers
Marshall was ambivalent about segregating "colored" troops, feeling that it would "set us off & mak[e] us too exclusive," and arguing that he had reason to believe that his command "certainly will be marked & will have our reputation to make and have it all our own, not divided with white troops" (1864 November 19).
Marshall's letters are made more valuable in that his observational scope extends beyond the military, to report on such things as contraband children's schools (April 30, 1863), "shouts" and religious services (1864 July 5), and the local civilianry.
Marshall was also a keen observer of the religious life in his regiment, writing scathing attacks on his regiment's chaplain, whom Marshall felt was suspect of character.

 Improvising Character: Jazz, the Actor, and Protocols of Improvisation, Marshall Soules Ph.D.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
By interrogating the nature of improvised music and acting in close juxtaposition, we gain insight into the nature of improvisation itself (even though it would be imprudent to suggest an essential definition suitable for all performance situations) and learn something about the dialogic construction of character.
In the theatre, actors are given their lines by the writer or director, but they must also contribute physical actions and voice.
The concept of transformations grew out of a desire to move away from the usual dramatic focus where "one person gets to show three or four aspects of the personality, while all the other people have supporting roles and usually are stereotypes" (245).
