Documentary: Soldiers became part of the force policing the West
continued from Page A1
The documentary’s artistic
vision belongs to Dru Holley,
a filmmaker based in Van-
couver and Tacoma, Wash-
ington, who owns the pro-
duction company Dru Films.
“We’re excited about (the
film), and we want to do it
justice,” Holley said. His goal
is to create an hourlong edu-
cational film to be screened
at film festivals, in museums
and on broadcast TV.
“It has an audience, and it
has supporters,” he added.
After the Civil War, thou-
sands of freed African-Amer-
ican men joined the mili-
tary, where they could learn
to read and write and make
enough money to send to
their families. They’d have
more opportunities in uni-
form than they would in
the South as, say, ex-slaves
working as sharecroppers.
“You were able to become
a man. You could try to be
equal … to be looked at as
equal,” said Newbill, whose
Seattle group focuses on the
Buffalo Soldiers’ 9th and
10th Cavalry units.
The soldiers became part
of the force policing the West
during the Indian Wars, keep-
ing the dispossessed Native
Americans on their reserva-
tions and the European set-
tlers off them during decades
of violent skirmishes.
How the Buffalo Sol-
diers earned their nickname
is unclear. The most popular
telling goes that, when they
came upon a Cheyenne tribe,
the natives noticed that the
black soldiers’ hair resem-
bled the wooly hair of a buf-
falo — an animal that natives
also happened to admire as
fierce fighters.
Only in recent years did
it become known that Wil-
liams had a presence at Fort
Stevens, according to park
ranger John Koch. This
explains in part why the fort
doesn’t have anything to
commemorate him.
When Koch learned that
Holley’s crew wanted to film
there, he saw it as a terrific
occasion to spotlight Moses.
“The guy served here — why
not, right?” he said.
The filmmakers plan to

donate the uniform worn by
Newbill in the film to histori-
cal sites in the Northwest as a
rotating display — including
Fort Stevens — something to
mark Williams’ contribution
to the region.
As the crew set up their
cameras and equipment
where their subject held his
last post, on the very ground
the middle-aged Williams
would have walked more
than 120 years ago, Holley
couldn’t help but wonder:
What would the Buffalo Sol-
dier have made of them?
“These black and white
men working together to
make this film — it would
have made Moses Williams
proud,” Holley said.
