The Buffalo Soldier Tragedy of 1877


Book Description

The year 1877 was a drought year in West Texas. That summer, some forty buffalo soldiers struck out into the Llano Estacado, pursuing a band of raiding Comanches. Several days later they were missing and presumed dead from thirst. Although most of the soldiers straggled back into camp, four died, and others faced court-martial for desertion. Here, Carlson provides insight into the interaction of soldiers, hunters, settlers, and Indians on the Staked Plains.

Buffalo Soldiers


Book Description

Timed to coincide with the hardcover publication of Willard's "The Sable Doughboys". Sgt. Major Augustus Sharps of the 10th Cavalry and other former slaves had proven that they could fight valiantly for their freedom, but in the West they were to fight for the freedom and security of white settlers who often despised them. The Cheyenne thought the hair of this new kind of soldier resembled buffalo hides, and the men of the 9th and 10th Cavalry became known as "buffalo soldiers". Targeted ads/media.
