Telling a Forgotten History
New book out on the
Buffalo Soldiers
The Buffalo Soldiers served a crucial
role in American history, but much of the
exciting and dramatic service of the first
all African-American regiments in the U.S.
Army is glossed over or forgotten.
“Buffalo Soldiers: South of the Rio
Grande” by William C. Moton shares the
story of unsung military heroes in Amer-
ican history. Set in the early part of the
1900s, an African-American Army officer
and Buffalo Solider attempt to rescue cap-
tured U.S. forces at the height of the Mexi-
can Revolution.
Moton’s four years of experience in the
Navy, love of travel and his time working
in the film industry in Mexico helped him
develop the dramatic storyline of “Buffalo
Soldiers.”
“I wrote this book because there is little
known about earlier black soldiers,” Moton
said. “I want to emphasize the Afro-Ameri-
can experience.”
Moton’s book highlights the mission of
two African-Americans in the Army, set out
to rescue American prisoners, overcome
physical obstacles, racial tension and chaos
of war.
