The Buffalo Soldiers: A Narrative of the Negro Cavalry In the West
By: Thomas H. Leckie


Negro soldiers who wanted to remain in the United States Army after the Civil War were organized into the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Regiments. Their service in controlling hostile Indians on the Great Plains during the next twenty years was as invaluable as it was unrecognized. The regiments, commanded by white officers and operating under intense disadvantages - difficulty in obtaining officers: prejudicial treatment by higher army officials concerning equipment, assigments, and camp policy; and prejudice in frontier towns - nevertheless developed into remarkable fighting units during their extensive engagements on the Southern Plains.
