Many works have been penned on the Buffalo Soldiers, however, few reach the quality of Dr. Schubert's. Frank tells the story of the Buffalo Soldier Medal of Honor winners from 1870-1898. He tells the story as one would tell a family story. He has a knowledge of the Buffalo Soldiers that has not been seen since Bill Lecke. The narrative is most interesting. His style is extremely readable. The reader finds himself saying "just one more page before I put it down." This book is a must read for a student of the Buffalo Soldiers of military history of the period. The causal reader will find this work packed full of knowledge and very readable. Dr Schubert has done another bang-up job

This is an extremely moving and thought-provoking book. For modern Americans, living in our more cynical age, it seems impossible to believe and a hopelessly naive thing that former slaves and long-oppressed men would have volunteered to fight for this nation--but they did, in large numbers (enough to field four all-black Regular Army regiments) and with remarkable heroism . Dr. Schubert captures the spirit of the Buffalo Soldiers' incredible bravery and the harshness of their lives--and deaths--in a remarkable manner. Although it is a "must-read" for anyone interested in the Old West and the lives of soldiers on the frontier, this book is also a must-read for anyone interested in African-American history, general U.S. history or anyone who loves a tale of adventure and character: it encompasses some incredible (and very well-told ) tales of suffering and bravery in a manner that will move the reader alternatively to anger, to tears, to pride and to amazement. One can also read this book as a cautionary tale on the wages of heroism: many of the Buffalo Soldiers who won the Medal of Honor had lives afterwards that could only be called tragic in the extreme. Although our nation has finally begun to awake to the sacrifices of these men over a century ago, in their own time, they were often the "forgotten soldiers." Dr. Schubert's book, however, now helps to give the Buffalo Soldiers the credit they have long been overdue. It is a marvelous book.

Schubert wrote it. I read it. And you'll love it!! I have never read a book quite like it. It touched and moved me tremendously, I felt black pride like I have never felt before. The true story of the Buffalo Soliders must be told. Their bravery, their struggle, and their triumph....is a true African-American tale everyone should know both blacks and whites.

THIS BOOK IS JUST WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. IT'S THE START OF MY GREAT QUEST.
