Black, Buckskin, and Blue - African American Scouts and Soldiers on the Western Frontier (Paperback)

This Book takes an in-depth look at African Americans who were scouts and soldiers on the United States western frontier during the nineteenth and twentieth century. Surprisingly, some degree of Old West law enforcement had a direct relationship with the history of the United States black 9th and 10th Calvary regiments along with the African-American 24th and 25th Infantry. Art T. Burton has done a good job relating a number of law enforcement actions under taken by these military units. In it, he relates when and how the Buffalo Soldiers pursued outlaws as well as hostile Indians on the western frontier.
