Reviews
“A cracking good story that rivets the attention, swells one’s pride, and opens a historical window into the daily lives of these black heroes and heroines.” —Larry R. Jordan, Major General, U.S. Army
“I have enjoyed Tom Willard’s Buffalo Soldiers. He is a gifted writer and has an important story.” —General William C. Westmoreland, U.S. Army (Retired)
“I became so engrossed that I couldn’t put it down. This story of the beginning of an African-American military family, beginning with Sergeant Major Augustus Sharps and his wife, Selona, is the best I have ever read. The book tells how hard life was for the members of the 10th Cavalry and their families. No one could have written it better than Tom Willard.” —CSM Leo B. Smith, U.S. Army (Retired), Executive Director & Curator, National Medal of Honor Museum
“I [am] a direct descendant of those Buffalo Soldiers and the Tuskegee Airmen and all the black men and women who have served the nation in uniform. I will never forget my debt to them.” —General Colin L. Powell, former Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Howard University Commencement, 1994
