The six regiments of African-American soldiers who served on America's western frontier during the Plains Wars were nicknamed the 'Buffalo Soldiers' by the Comanche and Cheyenne, and their many enemies included the great chiefs Geronimo and Sitting Bull. This book examines the equipment, organisation and appearance of the buffalo soldiers in the US cavalry and infantry.
