By the close of the Indian Wars, there would be ten more Medals of Honor awarded to Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th Cavalry.

    Extractions: In the late 19th century, the first African Americans in our nation's history served in the regular peacetime Army. Formed in 1866, two of their regiments - the 9th and 10th Cavalries - were central to the U.S. war against Native Americans in the West. According to legend, these black Army men were called "Buffalo Soldiers" by Native Americans because their tight, curly hair and fighting spirit reminded the Native Americans of the buffalo. The name "Buffalo Soldiers" was adopted by the black soldiers as a sign of honor and respect. Into the 20th century, the name "Buffalo Soldier" continued to be given to the soldiers of all-black military outfits, and these fighters continued to be integral to U.S. fighting forces. Today, Buffalo Soldiers whose valor went unrewarded and unrecognized in their own time are being recognized. In 1997, for example, Gen. Colin Powell helped honor the 54th Regiment, the first black regiment to see battle in the Civil War, in a ceremony to celebrate the 100th anniversary of a monument to the 54th. In 2000, the Italian town of Sommacolonia opened the "Fortress of Peace," a park dedicated to fallen Buffalo Soldiers of WWII.

    Extractions: An 1866 law authorized the U.S. Army to form cavalry and infantry regiments of black men; the resulting units were the 9th and 10th cavalries and the 38th through 41st infantries (these four were later reduced to the 24th and 25 infantries, which often fought alongside the cavalry regiments). The law required their officers to be white. The 10th Cavalry, originally headquartered at Fort Riley, Kansas, was commanded by Colonel Benjamin Grierson; his men were provided with aged horses, deteriorating equipment, and inadequate supplies of ammunition. Their duties included escorting stagecoaches, trains, and work parties and policing cattle rustlers and illegal traders who sold guns and liquor to the Indians, but their principal mission was to control the Indians of the Plains and Southwest. After the Red River Indian War (1874-75) the 10th Cavalry was transferred to Texas, where the 9th Cavalry, commanded by Colonel Edward Hatch, had long been based. The combined forces fought outlaws and Indians who often conducted raids and robberies from sanctuaries in Mexico. They carried out a campaign against the Apache, who were resisting relocation and confinement on reservations. After numerous battles with Victorio and his Apache band, the soldiers managed to subdue them in 1880. While the 10th Cavalry continued in action against the remaining Apache for another decade, the 9th was sent to Indian Territory (later Oklahoma) to deal with whites who were illegally settling on Indian lands. In 1892-96, after Grierson's retirement, the 10th Cavalry relocated to Montana Territory with orders to round up and deport the Cree Indians to Canada.

    Extractions: Archives (from 1999) African-American troops have served in every major military conflict in American history. But it was during the Civil War that Black males were enlisted for widescale battle by the Union Army. Even though prejudice prevented them from being fully accepted, the soldiers fought bravely and over 33 thousand of the nearly 180 thousand men that enlisted lost their lives. These black soldiers composed 20 percent of the Army in the 1870s. Colonel Charles "Chuck" Long of the The American Buffalo Soldiers Re-Enactors' Association leads the charge for Buffalo Soldiers Re-enactors Association Black troops who helped conquer the West supposedly were called "Buffalo Soldiers" because Native Americans thought their bushy hair resembled the coat of the bison. While often treated as footnotes to history, in fact, there were more black soldiers on the frontier than most people realize, and their contribution was major. Their faces simply do not show up in Western movies - or even most historic photographs. Black soldiers served long and well at many posts in the Arizona Territory, and not just at Fort Huachuca, which proudly celebrates their contributions.

Web Links WHO WE ARE About Us Contact Us X X Winner of the 2004 Rupert N. Richardson Prize awarded by the West Texas Historical Association Paul H. Carlson The year 1877 was a drought year in West Texas. In the middle of that arid summer, a troop of some forty buffalo soldiers (African American cavalry led by white officers) struck out into the Llano Estacado from Double Lakes, south of modern Lubbock, pursuing a band of Kwahada Comanches who had been raiding homesteads and hunting parties. A group of twenty-two buffalo hunters accompanied the soldiers as guides and allies. Several days later three black soldiers rode into Fort Concho at modern San Angelo and reported that the men and officers of Troop A were missing and presumed dead from thirst. The "Staked Plains Horror," as the Galveston Daily News called it, quickly captured national attention. Although most of the soldiers eventually straggled back into camp, four had died, and others eventually faced court-martial for desertion. The buffalo hunters had ridden off on their own to find water, and the surviving soldiers had lived by drinking the blood of their dead horses and their own urine. A routine army scout had turned into disaster of the worst kind. “Although this harrowing tale has been related in previously published articles and book chapters, no one has offered more thorough and balanced coverage than has Paul Carlson. . . . Persons interested in the Southern Plains, Native American history, frontier military life, and race relations within American institutions will be pleased with all that this book has to offer.”

    Extractions: Mis-Education of African American Youth Commentary By Kwame M.A. Soburu The May 18 San Francisco Chronicle had an article titled "A Soldier's Life." It was about eighth-graders from a low-income area of California on a field trip to San Francisco's Presidio-a former military base-to learn about the "Buffalo Soldiers, the Black troops who protected settlers as they traveled West." The students gathered in a tent, listened to an "audiotape describing the conflicts and contributions of the courageous Black regiments," and wrote in their journals. The students were participating in a program sponsored by the National Park Service, which is "designed to connect minority students to their heritage." One innocent, mis-educated youth said, "I didn't even know they existed. I'm proud to know African Americans were Buffalo Soldiers." Who were the Buffalo Soldiers? Following the end of the Civil War, the Northern capitalists decided that some of the Black soldiers who had played a major role in defeating the Southern slavemasters in the war could be used in the continuing wholesale robbery of Native American land by white corporations and settlers, big and small.

    Extractions: The African-American Odyssey Buffalo Soldiers For decades, African-American Regulars were the most effective troops on the western frontier Maj. George Forsyth lay stretched out beside the rotting carcass of his dead horse on a small island in the dry bed of the Arikaree River in Colorado Territory. Around him lay dead and wounded men, his men. Beyond the riverbanks circled the Cheyenne and Oglala warriors who had kept them trapped for days. Then Forsyth’s men noticed the Indians had drawn off. They soon discovered why: in the distance they saw cavalrymen...black cavalrymen...pounding across the dry grass. They were the buffalo soldiers. Forsyth's fight entered legend as the Battle of Beecher's Island, but few remember he was rescued by black troops, says author T. J. Stiles. Indeed, black regulars took center stage in the Army's Western drama, shouldering combat responsibilities out of proportion to their numbers.
