Buffalo Soldiers | The Brass Letters | 1
Lindsey Graham
By the end of the summer of 1867, the 10th Cavalry had shed their rookie status, and soon Plains Indians began referring to them as Buffalo Soldiers. While the origin of this nickname is disputed, many believe the Cheyenne were the first to use it, likening black soldiers to bison, either due to their curly hair or because of their ferocity in battle.
