African-American history is the part of American history that looks at the history of African Americans or Black Americans.

A poem written by one of the Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th Cavalry reads:

“The rest have gone home, To meet the blizzard’s wintry blast. The Ninth, the willing Ninth, Is camped here till the last, We were the first to come, Will be the last to leave. Why are we compelled to stay, Why this reward receive? In warm barracks, Our recent comrades take their ease, While we poor devils, And the Sioux, are left to freeze.”

Further evidence of their willing participation and their skill can be found in a letter written by Francis Roe, an officers wife writing in 1873. Her letter was the first recorded text to refer to the Buffalo Soldiers by their common name. She writes : “These ‘Buffalo Soldiers’ are active, intelligent, and resolute men; are perfectly willing to fight the Indians, whenever they may be called upon to do so, and appear to me to be rather superior to the average of white men recruited in time of peace.

It is and will always be our mission to Educate, Perpetuate, and Celebrate the Rich Legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers.  You may share all your read and view here with friends, family, all youth, schools ect… as well as you may contact the contributors via their email address with the link or story.
