Buffalo Soldier: Legacy on the Frontier art print
Buffalo Soldier: Legacy on the frontier by S. Christopher James, honors the legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers—African American troops who served on the Western frontier after the Civil War. Drawn from the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments, these men faced discrimination within their own country, even as they were tasked with enforcing its expansion.
Nicknamed “Buffalo Soldiers” by Native American tribes, the name is believed to reflect both their strength and determination, as well as the resemblance of their hair to the thick fur of the buffalo. Some say it was a title of deep respect, earned through fierce combat and unwavering discipline.
Yet their story is layered. While they fought bravely for a nation that often denied them basic rights, they were also agents in the displacement of Indigenous peoples—another community fighting for survival.
This work stands in the space between pride and paradox, reflecting on what it meant to serve, to survive, and to seek dignity in a complicated chapter of American history.
Price range: $30.00 through $50.00
