Buffalo Soldiers

I am so glad to see this group! My husband and I have long admired the buffalo soldiers! They were incredibly brave and did so much to help "tame" the frontier for lack of a better word. I posted some pictures (paintings) a while back...you can see them on my page photos. Good Luck!

And a nice website!

Thank you for the great comments, The Buffalo Soldiers were instrumental in carving out the interior of the U.S. You are correct Bo they did not get the recognition then and few even know who they are today. That is why we do it, to give the Buffalo Soldiers their place in history. I am honored to bring their stories to people.

I am very familiar with Corporal Isaiah Mays and his story. (second picture) that same picture is on our website. We had the honor of being the face of the Buffalo Soldiers for The old Guard Riders. a group that recently exumed Corporal Mays remains from an unmarked grave (feild of weeds) wrapped in nothing but a sheet behind the county hospital here in phoenix, They delivered him to Arlington where he was buried with full military honors, He was a Congressional Medal of honor winner and we were proud and honored to be a part of that historical event. You can go to our website and click on the old guard riders link to read more about it. Thank you for the posting the pictures!

Correction - the soldier in uniform in the photo is actually named John Denny, not Demry. I can't always read my own writing. He is definitely listed as a MOH recipient.

Lol, yes sir, I knew what you meant. Yes he was an MOH recipient
