Does anyone have any further information on James Russell?

Hope you will not object to my passing on to an African-American friend. I understand there was a James Russell who was a freeman and African-American that served in CSA in Walterboro, SC. This info was printed when the NAACP wanted the Confederate Monument at the Walterboro Courthouse removed from the courthouse grounds. Perhaps the Sumter Genealogical Society should look for a copy of LIFE ON THE OLD PLANTATION IN ANTE-BELLUM DAYS written by Rev. I.E. Lowery, a former slave on the Frierson plantation who removed to Columbia, SC. I know this book is out of print but perhaps someone could find it in a specialty shop. I would surely be willing to contribute toward the purchase price. It's likely the book would be of use to our African-American genealogy researchers but the book depicts life in slavery as far less restrictive then most have assumed...
