Buffalo Soldiers: Guest: John Langellier, Ph.D.


Listen Later

This Week on History Happy Hour: In 1881, the first Buffalo Soldiers arrived in Arizona, serving in both the cavalry and infantry to pursue the elusive Apaches. For more than six decades, through border battles with Mexico to WWI and WWII, Black soldiers served with honor in Arizona, all the while facing an ever-present, persistent enemy: racism.

Fellow Ambrose Historian John P. Langellier returns to HHH to talk with Chris and Rick about his book Buffalo Soldiers in Arizona.

John Langellier, Ph.D., spent 12 years with the U.S. Army, and another four with the U.S. Navy in various assignments. He has written scores of articles and dozens of books, including Fighting for Uncle Sam: Buffalo Soldiers in the Frontier Army; The “Trapdoor” Springfield: From the Little Bighorn to San Juan Hill; and Scouting with the Buffalo Soldiers. He leads tours in the Southwest for Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours. He appeared on HHH in 2020.
