(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. This understated story is narrated by a former slave who decides to "walk to New Orleans and put [his] X on the line" to enlist as a buffalo soldier. Through the fictional cavalryman's eyes, Garland chronicles the hardships and heroics of an all-black regiment. Himler's illustrations quietly convey both setting and mood. An author's note provides background facts. Bib.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
