The Buffalo Soldiers
The Buffalo Soldiers have a long and storied history, it's good to see these gentlemen keeping it alive!
The First African American soldiers to arrive in Arizona at Fort Huachuca were the Buffalo Soldiers in the l890’s; the 9th and l0th Cavalries and the 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments. The Fort Huachuca Buffalo Soldiers distinguished themselves in the Spanish American War and the charge up San Juan Hill. They were part of the Punitive Expedition into Mexico and were sent to Camp Naco, Arizona, Camp Little in Nogales and other locations in Arizona to guard the Arizona Borders during the Mexican Revolution.
If you'd like to visit their webpage I'm sure it would be most appreciated:
These gentlemen come up from Fort Huachuca every year to ride in the Tucson Rodeo Parade. They're working hard to keep a part of history alive and I can certainly appreciate their effort!
The Tucson Rodeo Parade is believed to be the nation's longest non-motorized parade dating back to 1925. All the parade entries are horse pulled other than the marching bands and the street sweepers who always end the parade by cleaning up the landmines left by our equine friends.
