{"product_id":"buffalo-soldiers-1866-91-ron-field-9781841767567","title":"Buffalo Soldiers 1866-91","description":"African-American soldiers played a decisive role in the US Army on the western frontier during the Plains Wars (1850-1891). First authorised by Congress in July 1866, they were organised into two cavalry and four infantry regiments, which were commanded by white officers. All were quickly nicknamed the 'Buffalo Soldiers' by their Cheyenne and Comanche enemies. These brave soldiers fought many native tribes over the years, including the warriors of Sitting Bull and Geronimo. This book tells the story of these buffalo soldiers who, until the early 1890s, constituted 20 per cent of all active forces on duty in the American West.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Field\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841767565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841767567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.74h x 7.20w x 0.23d","brand":"Ron Field","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450022211839,"sku":"9781841767567","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24d21e1a-09f4-4a42-99d4-27f89bd75443.jpg?v=1777265898","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/buffalo-soldiers-1866-91-ron-field-9781841767567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
