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

Captain Gilmore, an African American officer, and Jenkins Craves, an old buffalo soldier with combat experience, make an odd duo. But together they serve one mission. At the height of the Mexican Revolution, they are commanded to transport Lieutenant Calderon and several other Mexican prisoners to make an exchange for American prisoners. The mission should be simple, with the Americans being held in a small town a few days' ride from the pair's location, but as Gilmore soon finds, nothing is simple south of the border. Their team meets a young woman who travels alone to collect the belongings of a relative: a soldier shot dead by Mexican federal soldiers. Gilmore feels the need to protect this woman, so she joins their team. It's a good thing, too, as they are soon attacked by bandits, the Mexican Federal Army, and a variety of no-good turncoats. Despite these hazards, Gilmore and Craves are determined to complete their mission and save American lives ... but who will save them?

Stories of The Buffalo Soldiers have not been portrayed in history books enough. Abdullah Bin Juttie felt a responsibility to tell this story, giving positive images of African American men who dedicated themselves to restoring the Union. It intends to reestablish the dignity of the African American, whose battlefield prowess is demonstrated throughout the history of the United States military. The story is about a black man from Nashville, Tennessee, who wanted to avenge the massacre of 300 African American men, women, and children by Southern troops under the command of Nathan Bedford Forrest (a prominent figure in the foundation of the Ku Klux Klan) at the battle of Fort Pillow on April 12, 1864. After serving in the Civil War, he joined a Negro Cavalry unit respectfully named The Buffalo Soldiers. Upon retiring from the U.S. Army, he faces similar racism to what he experienced before risking his life in war, when he fought to protect the lives of Northern white men from the troops under General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. This soldier watched his best friend die in an attack by a racist mob attempting to lynch all the black men of his community. The story culminates with him calling his former commanding officer, General William Tecumseh Sherman, to rescue his surrounded community from KKK sympathizers who wanted to massacre his people in the same fashion that was later done to the Black Wall Street community of Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921.

This riveting narrative focuses on the Buffalo Soldiers, tracing the legacy of black military service and its social, economic, and political impact from the colonial era through the end of the 19th century. This fascinating saga follows the story of the Buffalo Soldiers as they participated in key events in America's history. Author Debra J. Sheffer discusses the impetus for the earliest black military service, how that service led to the creation of the Buffalo Soldiers, and how these men—and one woman—continued to serve in the face of epic obstacles. The work celebrates their significant military contributions to the campaigns of the American frontier and other battles, their fighting experiences, and life on the plains. Starting with the American Revolution, the book traces the heroic journey of these legendary servicemen from the period when black Americans first sought full citizenship in exchange for military service to the integration of the military and the dissolution of all-black regiments. Several chapters highlight the special achievements of the 9th and 10th United States Cavalry and the 24th and 25th United States Infantry. The book also features the accomplishments—both of the unit and individuals—of the Buffalo Soldiers in battle and beyond.
