African American Army regiments posted in the West after the Civil War were dubbed ‘buffalo soldiers’ by Native Americans—some say because of their ferocity as fighters; other say because their dark, curly hair resembled a buffalo’s mane. The name stuck and was applied to Black soldiers in World Wars I and II, before troops were racially integrated.
