Part of the duty that the men were trained for and expected, was to face the
Native American fiercely defending their homes and way of life. Those of the 9th
and 10th U.S. Cavalry - The Buffalo Soldiers - because of their tenacity,
hardness, and resolute courage, had already won the respect of the enemy who
gave them their famous nom de guerre. But there were harder parts of
soldiering than enduring the long rides, bad food, and hand-me-down equipment.
There was always the parting from family and loved ones. And whether it was for
the first time or the fiftieth, they never knew if it might be the last. The
women were painfully aware of it to: A forced smile, a reassuring hug were not
enough. Because of the inherent danger of the duty, and the savage enemy - but
mostly because the men were often too brave for their own good - there was
always the one most important promise that might not be kept.
