It means a government founded on the proposition that all men are created equal, that they are endowded by their creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And it means also a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Yet, as important as those things are, America means more than that. It means a spirit--a spirit capable of brightening the world with incandescent flashes of hope and courage and faith. Yes, America is both substance and spirit. / Fortunately, contained in the pages of this American Heritage Guide are the substance and spirit, the ideas and ideals, which best personify America. The guide will be an indispensable aid for teachers, and invaluable help to students. I personally would like to thank the committee members whose tireless efforts made this guide possible. Further, we are all indebted to the many wonderful Arizonans who contributed in so many ways to its preparation.

    BLACK SOLDIERS IN THE WEST: A PROUD TRADITION During the Civil War over 180,000 Black Americans served in the Union Army and Navy. More than 33,000 died. After the war, the future of black men in the nation’s military was in doubt. In 1866, however, Congress authorized black Americans to serve in the peacetime army of the United States in segregated units mostly commanded by white officers. Two cavalry and four infantry regiments were created and designated the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments and the 38th, 39th, 40th and 41st Infantry Regiments. In 1869, Congress enacted a troop reduction and consolidation leading to the 38th, 39th, 40th and 41st Infantry Regiments being re- designated as the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments. The four remaining regiments, the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments and the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments would become known as the “Buffalo Soldiers.” During the 19th century, Buffalo Soldiers served in Arizona, California, Colorado, the Dakotas, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. In Arizona they garrisoned such posts s as Fort Apache, Fort Bowie, Fort Grant, Fort Huachuca, Fort Verde, and Fort Whipple. Fort Huachuca enjoys the distinction of being the only military installation having served as home to each of the four Buffalo Soldier regiments at one time or another. Buffalo Soldiers played a major role in the settlement and development of the American West. They performed such duties as guarding and delivering the mail as well as escorting and or guarding stagecoaches, railroad crews, and surveyors. They built roads and telegraph lines, mapped and explored the territories and provided security for westward expansion.

    List of African-American Medal of Honor recipients 1 List of African-American Medal of Honor recipients The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces. Recipients must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States. Because of the nature of this medal, it is commonly presented posthumously.[1] Of the 3,464 Medals of Honor awarded as of June 2009, 88 have been awarded to 87 different African American recipients.[2] Robert Augustus Sweeney is one of nineteen men, and the only African American, to have been awarded two Medals of Honor.[3] A 1993 study commissioned by the Army investigated racial discrimination in the awarding of medals.[4] At the time, no Medals of Honor had been awarded to black soldiers who served in World War II. After an exhaustive review of files, the study recommended that several black Distinguished Service Cross recipients be upgraded to the Medal of Honor. On January 13, 1997, President Bill Clinton awarded the Medal to seven African American World War II veterans; of these, only Vernon Baker was still alive.[4] Civil War Twenty-five African Americans earned the Medal of Honor during the American Civil War, including seven sailors of the Union Navy, fifteen soldiers of the United States Colored Troops, and three soldiers of other Army units.[2] Fourteen African American men earned the Medal for actions in the Battle of Chaffin's Farm, where a division of U.S.

  • Tales of the Old West
    1 TALES OF THE OLD WEST Wham Payroll Robbery The Wham Payroll robbery is one of the least known, least written about, yet most unbelievable crimes in Arizona territorial history. It occurred in the early morning of May 11, 1889, near Pima, Arizona. The bandits escaped with more than $28,000 in gold and silver coins which has never been accounted for in more than 123 years. The accused gang was charged only with armed robbery, yet eight men, all U. S. soldiers, suffered gunshot wounds of varying severity. And none of the bandits ever served any time although eight of them were captured by law enforcement. U.S. Army Paymaster, Major Joseph Washington Wham, was making his delivery of the Army payroll. The day before delivery had been made to Fort Thomas and now the paymaster was on his way to Fort Thomas, Camp San Carlos and Fort Apache where the soldiers were awaiting their pay. Major Wham was accompanied by his clerk, William Gibbon, his servant and mule tender, and a Buffalo Soldier, Private Coldwell. Their mode of transportation was a canopied ambulance that was being driven by a Buffalo Soldier, Private Hamilton Lewis, for the trip to Fort Apache where the soldiers were awaiting their pay. The gold and silver coins were locked in an oaken strongbox inside the ambulance. Wham was and his valuable cargo was also escorted by nine Buffalo Soldiers of the 24th Infantry riding on horseback. Also, with the group was a provision wagon driven by a civilian and carrying two Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th Cavalry.
