In the years following the Civil War, all-African American army regiments (popularly known as Buffalo Soldiers) eventually made their way to California where they would serve in newly established national parks. This program will explore their trails in California, and their contributions to the preservation of national parks in the West. We will also discuss the career of Colonel Allensworth, who built schools throughout the West, and later founded a freedmen’s town for the Buffalo Soldiers.
