An unheralded military hero, Charles Young (1864–1922) was the third black graduate of West Point, the first African American national park superintendent, the first black U.S. military attaché, the first African American officer to command a Regular Army regiment, and the highest-ranking black officer in the Regular Army until his death. Black Officer in a Buffalo Soldier Regiment tells the story of the man who—willingly or not—served as a standard-bearer for his race in the officer corps for nearly thirty years, and who, if not for racial prejudice, would have become the first African American general. Brian G. Shellum describes how, during his remarkable army career, Young was shuffled among the few assignments deemed suitable for a black officer in a white man’s army—the Buffalo Soldier regiments, an African American college, and diplomatic posts in black republics such as Liberia. Nonetheless, he used his experience to establish himself as an exceptional cavalry officer. He was a colonel on the eve of the United States’ entry into World War I, when serious medical problems and racial intolerance denied him command and ended his career. Shellum’s book seeks to restore a hero to the ranks of military history; at the same time, it informs our understanding of the role of race in the history of the American military.

Originally published in 1967, William H. Leckie’s The Buffalo Soldiers was the first book of its kind to recognize the importance of African American units in the conquest of the West. Decades later, with sales of more than 75,000 copies, The Buffalo Soldiers has become a classic. Now, in a newly revised edition, the authors have expanded the original research to explore more deeply the lives of buffalo soldiers in the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Regiments. Written in accessible prose that includes a synthesis of recent scholarship, this edition delves further into the life of an African American soldier in the nineteenth century. It also explores the experiences of soldiers’ families at frontier posts. In a new epilogue, the authors summarize developments in the lives of buffalo soldiers after the Indian Wars and discuss contemporary efforts to memorialize them in film, art, and architecture.

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

Early black infantry regiments were nicknamed Buffalo Soldiers by Native Americans, symbolizing the respect they had for the African-American soldier's bravery and valor. For more than 150 years these descendants of kings and queens, chiefs, leaders, and people of Africa have distinguished themselves with desire, dedication, and discipline. Ollen Hunt, one of the last Buffalo Soldiers, writes in this book about what America has done for him, and what he has done for America. His story is one of desire, dedication, and discipline; of bravery and valor. Throughout his life Ollen has distinguished himself: in the Civilian Conservation Corp, US Army, business, husband and father, and community leader. He has been a true soldier in every aspect of his life. He's shown that regardless of humble beginnings, prejudice, war, and other handicaps and hardships of life, a man can succeed if he adopts the attitude of the early Buffalo Soldier's slogan: deeds, not words! Buffalo Soldier is an uplifting biography and an example of hope for young and old alike.

The author draws on her father's account of the war and her extensive interviews with other veterans of the 92nd Division to describe the experiences of a naive southern white officer and his segregated unit on an intimate level. During the war, the protocol that required the assignment of southern white officers to command black units, both in Europe and in the Pacific theater, was often problematic, but Johnston seemed more successful than most, earning the trust and respect of his men at the same time that he learned to trust and respect them. Gene Johnston and the African American soldiers were transformed by the war and upon their return helped transform the nation. The 92nd Division of the Fifth Army was the only African American infantry division to see combat in Europe during 1944 and 1945, suffering more than 3,200 casualties. Members of this unit, known as Buffalo Soldiers, endured racial violence on the home front and experienced racism abroad. Engaged in combat for nine months, they were under the command of southern white infantry officers like their captain, Eugene E. Johnston.
