The History Behind the Image
On July 28, 1866, Congress created the first peacetime Black regiments in the Regular Army, including the 9th and 10th Cavalry. Along with the 24th and 25th Infantry, these soldiers became known as Buffalo Soldiers, a name given by Native peoples on the western frontier. They built roads, escorted mail, protected settlers, served in the Spanish-American War, and some served as early park rangers in Yosemite and Sequoia. Supplier materials date this photograph to 1895; we describe it as a late 19th century image because the exact source is not documented.
