About This Item

buffalo-sol-brz-300

On July 28, 1866 Congress enacted and adopted a legislation to create six all African American army units (9th, 10th Cav Regiments and 38th, 39th, 40th and 41st infantry regiments). By 1869, the U.S. Army had consolidated these into four all-black units: the 9th and 10th Cavalry as well as the 24th and 25th Infantry regiments.

The 10th cavalry was formed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and recruited soldiers from the northern states. Their motto was “Ready and forward”. The origin of the name “Buffalo Soldiers” has been controversial and interesting. The name was given to the 10th Cavalry by the Cheyenne Native Americans during a battle in 1867. There are three possible reasons for the name. One, the curly hair of the soldiers reminded them of the Buffalo. Two, they were given the name because their fierce fighting abilities reminded them of the way buffalos fought. Third, it may have been because they wore thick coats made from buffalo hide during winter. In any case, the name was given out of respect and honor.

lovely coin, found on a trip to Spain and in a lovely setting in a national park overlooking the pass between Foia de Castalla and Alcoi. We see this coin has yet to visit the UK so it will be headed there next.
