The Buffalo Soldiers

Library Binding (Mitchell Lane Publishers Dec. 17, 2009)
Imagine defending your country with your life and then being treated unfairly when the battle is over and you go back home to rest and recover. That is what it was like for many of the African American soldiers who fought on the frontier in the mid-1800s. As peacekeepers on American soil and as soldiers fighting the Spanish-American War, the Buffalo Soldiers saved lives and gave their own to help the United States grow. Find out what roles they played, and how, as soldiers, they took a major step toward desegregating the military and in gaining civil rights for future generations.
