  • Military Research – Buffalo Soldiers
    Buffalo Soldiers Military Research Thursday, July 28, 2016 Military Research – Buffalo Soldiers Buffalo Soldiers – A term coined for those African-Americans who served with the US Army after the Civil War. The term “Buffalo Soldiers” has been attributed to several sources for the units formed after 1866 by an act of Congress. Originally Congress reorganized the Army after the Civil War and created two “Black” Calvary Units (9th and10th U.S. Cavalry) and four Infantry Regiments (the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st Infantry Regiments (Colored)). (The 38th and 41st were reorganized as the 25th Infantry Regiment, with headquarters in Jackson Barracks in New Orleans, Louisiana, in November 1869. The 39th and 40th were reorganized as the 24th Infantry Regiment, with headquarters at Fort Clark, Texas, in April 1869. [Wikipedia]) It is the 9th & 10th Calvary and the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments best known for fighting in the West against the Indian Tribes. 22 Buffalo Soldiers received the Medal of Honor during the Indian Wars. Page 1 of 5 Buffalo Soldiers Military Research Thursday, July 28, 2016 According to the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum, the name originated with the Cheyenne warriors in the winter of 1877, the actual Cheyenne translation being "Wild Buffalo". However, writer Walter Hill documented the account of Colonel Benjamin Grierson, who founded the 10th Cavalry regiment, recalling an 1871 campaign against the Comanche. Hill attributed the origin of the name to the Comanche due to Grierson's assertions. The Apache used the same term ("We called them 'buffalo soldiers', because they had curly, kinky hair ... like bisons") a claim supported by other sources.[3][4] Some sources assert that the nickname was given out of respect for the fierce fighting ability of the 10th Cavalry.[5] Still other sources point to a combination of both legends.[6] The term Buffalo Soldiers became a generic term for all black soldiers.

  • The Buffalo Soldiers.Pdf
    '[fie tsuffato Sofdiers' Nearly sixteen months after the end of the Civil War, Section 3 of an Act of Congress entitled "An Act to increase and fix the Military Peace Establkhment of the Unitd Stadrs'authorized the formation of two regiments of cavalry composed of "coiored" men. The act was approved on 28 July 1865. On 21 September 18,55, the 9th Cavalry Regiment was activated at Greenvilie, Louisiana, and the 10th Cavalry Regiment was activated at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Under the competent leadership of Colonels Edward Hatch and Benjamin Grierson, fust Regimental Commanders of the 9th and iOth Cavalry Regiments, respectively, both regiments were trained and equipped and began a iong and proud history. For over two decades, the 9th and 10th Cavairy Regiments conducted campaigns against American Indian tribes on a Western Frontier that extended from Montana in the Northwest to Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona in the Southwest. They engaged in several skirmishes against such great Indian Chiefs as Victorio, Geronimo, and Naaa. 'Buffalo Soldiers" was the naane given the black cavalrymm by the Plains Indians. Reason for the name is uncertain. One view is that the Indians saw a resembiance between the black man's hair and the mane of a buffalo. Another view is that when a buffalo was wounded or cornered, it fought ferociously, displaying unusual stamina and courage. This was the same fighting spirit Indiaru saw in combat with black cavalrFren. Since Indians held thebuffalo in such high regard, it was felt that the narne was not given in contempt. When not engaged in combat with Indians, both regiments built forts and roads, installed telegraph lines, located water holes, escorted wagon trains and cattle drives, rode 'shotgrrn" on stagecoach and mail runs, and protected settlers from renegade Indians, outlaws, and Mexican revolutionaries.

  • L the Statue
    Sv^l'war i^oiiumeHt: Histciy'- Memory -C^ntroversy ' "*- '' *•* A. Bowdoin Van Riper Research Librarian, Martha's Vineyard Museum The Vineyard has many (barkers^rSctedribrcottmemdrate historical events, hut only two of them are statues. One, at the edge of the State Forest, memorializes the heath hen that the forest - first set aside as a reserve for the endangered bird - failed to save. The other, standing guard over the Oak Bluffs ferry wharf, commemorates a Civil War soldier. This is a story about that statue. It's also - necessarily and inseparably - a story about a man, a town, and a war. It's also, again necessarily, a story about people's memories of that war. This is a complicated story about an (apparently) simple object, but it's interesting - and important, today more than ever — precisely because it's complicated. L The Statue First things first: It is not a Confederate soldier. Despite what Gale Huntington - who should have known better - wrote in An Introduction to Martha's Vineyard back in 1969 . despite what passing tour bus operators may proclaim . despite what your houseguests explained at tedious length last weekend . .. it's a Union soldier. The belt buckle, the cartridge box, the cap badge, and the uniform buttons are all Federal issue. The statue is not, therefore, a direct analog of those at the center of recent controversies in Charlottesville, Baltimore, and Richmond. It was not erected, as so many of them were, as a marker of white power and an implicit warning to blacks to "know their place" in a society that refused to acknowledge their humanity.

  • Engrossed Senate Concurrent Resolution No
    ENGROSSED SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 57 By: Maddox and Monson of the Senate and Dorman of the House A Concurrent Resolution designating Oklahoma the “Frontier Home of the Buffalo Soldier”; and directing distribution. WHEREAS, after the Civil War, the United States Congress passed legislation establishing a peacetime military. A provision of the 1866 legislation created six regiments of African-American troops-- four infantry and two cavalry--of approximately 1,000 men each; and WHEREAS, the troops were placed under the command of Colonels Benjamin Grierson and Edward Hatch. African-Americans from the North and South, many of them freed slaves, enlisted in what became the 9th and 10th United States Cavalry Regiments. The primary mission of these African-American servicemen was to combat the Native American tribes caught in the westward expansion of the United States and to escort the tribes to reservations; and WHEREAS, even the Native Americans against whom these troops marshaled admired the troops’ fearlessness and courage, qualities also found in the buffalo, and noted that the troops’ hair texture and configuration resembled the tuft of hair between the horns of the bison. The Native Americans deemed these troops “Buffalo Soldiers”, a badge of honor and pride for the troops; and WHEREAS, the Buffalo Soldiers also built and defended telegraph lines, built and repaired forts, helped establish the foundations for future towns, helped settle disputes between and among railroads, unions, and White settlers, and mapped vast territories

When the end had come, and the Union no longer required the services of her well-trained and faithful volunteer hosts, those who had passed through the ordeal and were still alive returned to their several homes and vocations as “citizens,” with the feeling that each and all had done something to save and perpetuate a great and good nation; and so it came that in due time, and as it were by common consent, the mantle and title of “Veteran” slowly and surely fell upon all who had drawn a sword or shouldered a musket for our national existence. ________________________ (a) Excerpted from: Mottelay P.
