Child of the Fighting Tenth: On the Frontier with the Buffalo Soldiers

YA
This memoir was written by the daughter of a white officer in charge of an all-black Army regiment in the late 1800s. The eyewitness account of the settling of the American West starts out unbearably dull, though as Hooker grows up her writing becomes more interesting. The book will not appeal to a wide audience but would be a good primary source for advanced history students. Addresses, photo insert, reading list, timeline. Ind.
