Although there are many theo­
ries on how the Buffalo Soldier won
his name, the most enduring suggests
it was given to him by the native
Americans because o f this bravery
and courage on the battlefield. Estab­
lished in 1866 by an act o f Congress,
the Buffalo Soldiers constituted one-
fifth o f the U.S. Cavalry serving in the
West, and fought in more than 100
engagements.
