Doctor of Philosophy (History), August 2017, 294 pp., 8 tables, bibliography, 120 titles. During the Philippine War, 1899 – 1902, America attempted to quell an uprising from the Filipino people. Four regular army regiments of black soldiers, the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, and the Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth Infantry served in this conflict. Alongside the regular army regiments, two volunteer regiments of black soldiers, the Forty-Eighth and Forty-Ninth, also served. During and after the war these regiments received little attention from the press, public, or even historians. These black regiments served in a variety of duties in the Philippines, primarily these regiments served on the islands of Luzon and Samar. The main role of these regiments focused on garrisoning sections of the Philippines and helping to end the insurrection. To carry out this mission, the regiments undertook a variety of duties including scouting, fighting insurgents and ladrones (bandits), creating local civil governments, and improving infrastructure.

    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.

Quanah Parker • Son of Cynthia Parker • Quanah Parker was the last Chief of the Comanche's • His tribe roamed over the area over the Great Plains • Never lost a battle to the white man • He was never captured by the U.S. Army, but decided to surrender and lead his tribe into the white man's culture, only when he saw that there was no alternative Comanche Culture: Men took pride in their hair, which was worn long and rarely cut. They arranged their hair with porcupine quill brushes, greased it and parted it in the center from the forehead to the back of the neck.

  • 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.

  • A Buffalo Soldier and His Horse
    A Buffalo Soldier and His Horse BACKGROUND In 1866, Congress passed the “Act to Increase and Fix the Military Peace Establishment of the United States.” It called for the creation of 30 new army regiments, including 2 cavalry and 4 infantry that were to “be composed of colored men.” These all-Black regiments, organized in 1866-1867, became the Ninth and Tenth U.S. Cavalry and the Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ninth, Fortieth, and Forty-first U.S. Infantry Regiments. In 1869, the infantry regiments were consolidated. The Thirty-eighth and Forty-first became the new Twenty-fourth Modern reenactment photo of Buffalo Soldiers at Fort Davis Infantry, and the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth became the new Twenty-fifth Infantry. Black men enlisted in the army for a variety of reasons. Many of them had been slaves prior to the Civil War. The U.S. Army not only offered them paying jobs but room and board as well. Some of the men simply wanted to get away, to see the Wild West, or to “make something of themselves.” Some of these new soldiers who joined the cavalry were men who had never ridden a horse or had the opportunity to learn horsemanship. They had to learn how to ride, to care for their horses, and to depend on them while out in the field. Cavalry soldiers were horse soldiers—a title that denoted how they got around. For a man in the cavalry, the horse was his life. He fed, watered, and took care of his horse before he took care of himself.
