Seller Description
Dubbed buffalo soldiers by the Indians they fought because their curly hair resembled that in a buffalo's coat, Black troopers played a vital role in opening the West for settlers after the Civil War. This book tells the story of Emanuel Stance and how he won the Medal of Honor in 1870, the first ever awarded to an African American. Based on solid research, this gripping true-life tale makes an important contribution to our knowledge of the unsung heroes of the Old West.#paperback#children#historical
