an exceedingly rare history of the famed 9th cavalry of "buffalo soldiers" of which only one other copy is known Provides a chronological history of the 9th and all of it's encounters from its formation in 1866 through 1910. Copiously illustrated with group photos of officers and enlisted men, with a full listing of every man and his place of residence. The establishment of the 9th Cavalry at Fort D.A. Russell began with a violent insurrection of white soldiers that was quickly put down. This history gives its details and states that it was the first and last such incident. The remainder of the history provides richly detailed encounters with the Comanche, Apache, Kickapoo and other tribes as well as with the Mexicans. The period from 1890 through 1898 is particularly rich in terms of the number of encounters with the local tribes, including the so-called "ghost dance" and "Messiah" movements and the killing that took place as a result. A rare and detailed regimental history.
