California was home to the one of the first Native American cavalries and one of the first African American cavalries, commonly known as the Buffalo Soldiers. It was in California where the country saw the last official military cavalry in operation. California Cavalry displays the history of cavalry battalions and regiments, detailing a critical and controversial period and the eventual change from horse to mechanized technology. This book attempts to approach the topic of the cavalry in California both from indigenous and from military perspectives. Geographic regions are expanded beyond California to give context and continuity to the movement of military operations.

Our Journey with the Buffalo Soldiers is a compilation of historical research, travel adventures, family histories, and personal stories. African American military units were established in 1866 and these soldiers had much to prove. They earned the name "Buffalo Soldiers" from Indians who held their fighting spirit in high regard. Over the years, they served in all of the military conflicts - the Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II. Stories of racial prejudice are peppered throughout their history. During World War II, the Army mechanized their equipment and these units were disbanded. This journey focuses on the stories of World War II soldiers but a historical perspective is provided to lay the foundation for these stories. Information about Lt. Henry O. Flipper, the first African American graduate from the West Point Military Academy and other historical military figures are included. Each story is situated by its location and is part of the "journey." The stories about the World War II soldiers are personal and touching. Some described how they were afraid of horses but learned to ride, clean and feed them. There are more stories about traveling by train across the US, living on a ship going across the Atlantic Ocean, experiencing a accident in a jeep during the European Theater, leaving the Army and joining the Air Force, and life events after World War II. Many men returned "home" and took advantage of the GI Bill or settled into stable government jobs. Photographs and interviews with Buffalo Soldiers who attended the reunions of the Buffalo Soldiers every July add a special touch. City by city and fort by fort personal stories are connected to each location. From Thomasville, GA to Portland, OR the Buffalo Soldiers have many stories to share. On April 8, 2004 George Hicks III wrote - I get excited when I read stories about African American men who served in the U. S. Army as infantryman and cavalryman. These soldiers - Buffalo Soldiers - were my ancestors. I grew up in the 1950s-1960s, watching westerns movies, and I never saw black men riding horses nor as soldiers in the all-white U. S. cavalry regiments. Not until the 1980s when the stories of black soldiers were covered in the media did I revisit my childhood and ask questions. The Buffalo Soldiers were mistreated, issued inferior clothing and equipment, and received less compensation for their effort. They were assigned to military posts far from their families and the townspeople because the same people that they were to protect did not like the color of their skin. They endured the storms and I am so very proud of my black brothers. I have visited places where they served Washington DC, California, Virginia, Arizona, Mexico, Washington, Oregon, and Kansas and lived in their hometowns. I interviewed troopers who served in the 9th, 10th, 27th, and 28th (Horse) Cavalry regiments. The landscape where they served even today looks rough, hot, and uncomfortable. If they could do what they did under those conditions servicing this country. Surely I can sit in the comforts of my home and write about what I discovered about my ancestors. I decided to tell what I am learning about these men and women. Yes, there was at least one documented female Buffalo Soldier - Cathy Williams. It feels good to write positive stories about us. Perhaps there are other positive stories that need to be written. If you discover a subject that inspires you, sit down and start writing for future generations. It is our history. When you know your past, you can better understand your present and prepare for the future. On June 22, 2004, Carmon Weaver Hicks wrote - George led most of the journey. When you read a section that starts with the pronoun "I," the "I" is George. For many sections, the pronoun is "we." We learned so much, worked so hard, and feel so good about our efforts. This journey has been George's mission but you

The legendary Buffalo Soldiers, four army regiments of former slaves, were vital in taming the American frontier. The Tenth Cavalry of African American troopers rode across the Colorado plains to battle the Cheyennes and rescue wounded, starving soldiers at Beecher Island on the Arikaree River. Under the cover of darkness, the Ninth Cavalry aided besieged troops pinned down by Ute sharpshooters at Milk Creek. They drove off Cheyenne Dog Soldiers attacking a stagecoach of nervous travelers on the Smokey Hill Trail to Denver. And they braved howling blizzards and deep snowdrifts to protect lonely homesteads and wandering prospectors. Author Nancy K. Williams details the bravery and valor of these historic servicemen who served proudly defending America's Wild West.

Ben Carter is ordered to escort a survey party from Fort Union in New Mexico to Yosemite Valley in central California. The mission of the survey is to encourage the U.S. Congress to expand the national parks system. What should be a routine duty for the men of the Ninth Cavalry's Buffalo Soldiers is complicated beyond Ben's imaginings. In the first place, one of his men is seriously injured coming back from a scouting mission and faces a long period of convalescence. He is replaced by a new trooper who comes with a checkered background and the taint of cowardice under fire. Ben worries about the man's reliability on a mission that is being watched not just by the regimental commander, but the President of the United States. Ben learns a lot about the new man, and the people he is assigned to protect, during the long journey to California, and that his routine mission is anything but, as he discovers that the natural beauty of Yosemite covers greed and danger that rival anything he has had to face before.

Numbering 4,000 select officers and men, Combat Team 370 was part of n Europe during World War II the 92nd Infantry Division, the only all-Negro division to fight in Europe during World War II. In Black Warriors: The Buffalo Soldiers of World War II, author Ivan J. Houston recounts his experiences, when, as a nineteen-year-old California college student, he entered the US Army and served with the 3rd Battalion, 370th Infantry Regiment, 92nd Division of the US Fifth Army from 1943 to 1945. Drawn from minute-by-minute records of the units activities compiled by Houston during his deployment in Italy, this account describes both the historic encounters and the achievements of his fellow black soldiers during this breakthrough period in American military history. It tells of how the Buffalo Soldiers fought alongside other American troops, including Japanese Americans and soldiers from Great Britain, Brazil, South Africa, and India. With photos and maps included, Black Warriors: The Buffalo Soldiers of World War II provides a compelling, firsthand account of the segregated Buffalo Soldiers experiences while they fought not only the power of the Nazi war machine but also racism and the widely held belief they were not up to the task. Their achievements prove otherwise.
