Buffalo soldiers in the Civil War — 2 Comments

  1. I have enjoyed this site but was saddened to see all of the other sites having a vast array of soldiers and other items for sale relating to the civil war all to the exception of our “Buffalo Soldiers”.
    I can only imagine from reading and looking at the products they had for sale and come to the conclusion that they did not know of the Buffalo Soldier or even that he fought in the “CIVIL” war.
    That is why I, from my own pockets and at my own expense have chosen to take groups of kids from the Dallas Fort Worth area to the “Big Bend and Fort Davis National Parks” over the years so that they could experience some of what these men had to endure and show them how much of our real history will never be known.

    • Thank you, Mr. McIntyre, for your comment and for the work you do to educate our young people. The Buffalo Soldiers of the 1870s and 1880s are an important story; many veterans from the Civil War era continued their military service after the war on the Plains. Soldiering was a good opportunity, financially, though indeed it was a hard life.
