Regimental Review,
By El Cutachero (MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: History of the Tenth Cavalry 1866-1921 (Colorado Historical Series) (Hardcover)
The Tenth Cavalry was one of the two Black Cavalry regiments recruited after the Civil War from the veterans of the US Colored Troops. The unit was mostly stationed in the west to keep order among the Native Americans who called them Buffalo Soldiers. There has been a great interest in the deeds and motivations of these men in the face of rampant prejudice and social seperation. The unit's service has been perpetuated in the present order of battle of the US Army and there still is a 10th Cavalry though now integrated. This book was one of many published by both Regular Army, National Guard, and other units commemerating their service through the years. It was long out of print and was reprinted about thirty years ago by a private publisher in Fort Collins, Colo. That has become a collectible as well. This edition should interest all those who study the Indian Wars and the War with Spain and the Philippine War. The unit did not serve in France but patrolled the Mexican border from Fort Huachucha, AZ and had gone into Mexico in 1916 with the Punitive Expedition where a patrol clashed with Carranzista troops, resulting in the deaths of both the Mexican and US commanders and the dispersal and capture of many of the troopers. They were returned eventually to El Paso and the whole incident was smoothed over by cool heads.
