Default Buffalo Soldiers

re-edited old photo

BUFFALO SOLDIERS, Fort Keogh, Montana, 1890. Four Black American companies of the US Army 25th Infantry were stationed at the Fort adjacent to Miles City in Eastern Montana when Christian Barthlemess took the group portrait. Buffalo Soldiers were sent to areas far from large white populations. The one white person, near left, was reaching for a whiskey bottle. Some soldiers were wearing buffalo-hide coats. Snow was on the ground.

Buffalo Soldiers had a reputation for striking "holy terror" in their enemies. The segregated Black regiments had the lowest desertion rates and highest reenlistment rates. Veteran fighters made these units more effective in battle. Fort Keogh had approximately 120 buildings, 800 troops, and 500 civilian workers. (More historical images on my page.) - at Fort Keogh.

Interesting historical photo. Those guys had quite a reputation as fierce, loyal fighters.
