Administrative Information Related Collections: Books from Frank Schubert’s personal library were also donated to Missouri Valley Special Collections at the same time as his research materials. They are available through the main Library Catalog. Biographical and Historical Sketch Frank N. (Mickey) Schubert is a historian who has done extensive research on the topic of Buffalo Soldiers, specifically the experiences of individuals. Schubert has written numerous books and articles on Buffalo Soldiers, such as On the Trail of the Buffalo Soldier Vol 1 and Vol 2, Black Valor, Voices of the Buffalo Soldier, and Buffalo Soldiers, Braves and the Brass. He has also given lectures across the United States, Hungary, and Romania. He served in the United States Army from 1965-1968 and his writing has also extended to a variety of military subjects. Schubert received his B.A. from Howard University (where his interest in African American history began) in 1965, his M.A. from the University of Wyoming (where his research into Buffalo Soldiers began) in 1970, and his Ph.D. from the University of Toledo in 1977 where he studied under William Leckie. He continued his Buffalo Soldier research Missouri Valley Special Collections • http://www.kchistory.org • 14 W. 10th St., Kansas City, MO 64105 • 816.701.3427 THE KANSAS CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY well into the 2000s while also working as a historian in the Department of Defense from 1977 to 2003. Schubert describes “Buffalo Soldiers” as black soldiers who served in the US Army between the American Civil War and World War I. During the Civil War, almost 200,000 African Americans served as volunteers. The army was reorganized in 1866 after the war, and blacks were included as army regulars for the first time in US history. They formed two infantry units and two cavalry units, each overseen by white officers. Though segregated from the rest of the military, these units of men played a role in shaping the United States during its expansion across the frontier. Scope and Content Note This collection contains material created and compiled during Frank Schubert’s decades of research, writing, and speaking on African American history, Buffalo Soldiers, and frontier military history. These materials were foldered, labeled, and boxed by the creator of the collection. In most cases his original order and folder titles have been kept, although due to some loose materials some rearrangement was necessary. Where rearrangement was done, an arrangement based on subject order was used. The series and folder dates recorded reflect the dates of record-keeping activity in which the information being described was created, assembled, and maintained by the collection’s creator. When copies of published journal articles are present, publication dates are also reflected in the date range because it is often impossible to distinguish these dates from the dates of record-keeping activity. Some original content dates are included in the folder titles, but not in the folders’ date ranges. When a folder has no date of record-keeping activity or publication date the folder’s date range is shown as “n.d.” (no date). Series 1: Research Files, 1907-2014 and n.d. This series consists of the research notes, copies of documents and articles, and correspondence that contributed to and dealt with the research of Frank Schubert while working on his Buffalo Soldiers books, articles, and presentations.

Like so many well-entrenched, traditional as- sumptions, this one is unwarranted. J. Evetts Haley, in editing one of the extremely rare accounts of the cattle drives to Califor- nia which preceded the Texas-to-Kansas experiment by a decade and a half, slapped the blame for this misunderstanding squarely on the writings of Emerson Hough.

    NEBRASKA : THE COR NHUSKER STATE 43 larger cities and counties continue to grow. Between 2000 and 2010, the population of Douglas County—home of Omaha—increased 11.5 percent, while neighboring Sarpy County grew 29.6 percent. Nebraska’s population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. The most significant growth has occurred in the Latino population, which is now the state’s largest minority group. From 2000 to 2010, the state’s Latino population increased from 5.5 percent to 9.2 percent, growing at a rate of slightly more than 77 percent. The black population also grew from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent during that time. While Nebraska’s median age increased from 35.3 in 2000, to 36.2 in 2010 — the number of Nebraskans age 65 and older decreased slightly during the same time period, from 13.6 percent in 2000, to 13.5 percent in 2010. RECREATION AND PLACES OF INTEREST31 National Areas32 Nebraska has two national forest areas with hand-planted trees: the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Blaine and Thomas counties, and the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest in Cherry County. The Pine Ridge Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Dawes and Sioux counties contains native ponderosa pine trees. The U.S. Forest Service also administers the Oglala National Grassland in northwest Nebraska. Within it is Toadstool Geologic Park, a moonscape of eroded badlands containing fossil trackways that are 30 million years old. The Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, an archaeological site containing the remains of more than 600 pre- historic bison, also is located within the grassland.

    African Studies Roberto Cordova, Ph.D., University of Northern Colorado Hermon George, Jr., Ph.D., University of Northern Colorado "Cooperation Between People of Color in an Age of Deracia1ization: The Case of the Black/Latino Coalition of the University of Northern Colorado (UNC), c.1982-2002" Much of the analysis of recent Afro-American/Latino relations has centered upon the electoral arena in large urban areas (e.g., Romo, 1990; Browning, Marshall, and Tabb, 1990; Jennings, 1997; Franklin and Seltzer, 2002). The chances for cooperation between these two groups in this setting is said to depend upon political mobilization for economic (e.g., low wage jobs) and political (e.g., government employment) resources. However, in our study, a non-electora1 arena- a university campus -is the locus of a study of a two decades old Afro- American/Latino coalition, the Black/Latino Coalition (BLC). After establishing four factors that account for this coalition's persistence and success (leadership, agenda, adversarial accountability, and absence of direct economic or political competition between coalition partners), a periodization of the BLC's history is offered. The study concludes with a summation of the BLC's major victories and defeats, and of the BLC's success as a measure of the prospects for black/brown cooperation in an age of deracialization. Foster K. Amey, Middle Tennessee State University AFRICAN FEMALE IMMIGRANTS IN THE US LABOR FORCE Several studies have examined the dynamics of labor force participation among immigrants in the labor markets of advanced economies such us the United States, Canada, and Australia. Particular attention has been focused on the role of female immigrants in light of the real and perceived hostile nature of the labor market in these countries to their peculiar positions as women and immigrants.
