Spanish-American War, Buffalo Soldiers, 24th Infantry, 1898

Editorial use only . Tramp, tramp, tramp for Cuba, 24th U.S. Infantry. Buffalo Soldiers originally were members of the US 10th Cavalry Regiment of the US Army. This nickname was given to the Negro Cavalry by the Native American tribes they fought in the Indian Wars. The term became synonymous with all of the African American regiments formed in 1866. The Buffalo Soldiers were established by Congress as the first peacetime all-black regiments in the regular Army. The Spanish-American War was a conflict in 1898 between Spain and the US, the result of US intervention in the Cuban War of Independence. The ten week war was fought in both the Caribbean and the Pacific. US naval power proved decisive, allowing expeditionary forces to disembark in Cuba against a Spanish garrison already brought to its knees by nationwide Cuban insurgent attacks and further wasted by yellow fever. Cropped stereograph, Keystone View Company, 1898.
