Buffalo Soldiers in the 1900s

During the 1900s the Buffalo Soldiers remained stationed out west including at the Presidio in San Francisco, California. It was in 1903 while Captain Charles Young was stationed at the Presidio that he and Troopers of the Ninth Cavalry were sent to Sequoia and General Grant Nationals Parks to protect and preserve them for the summer season.

The Buffalo Soldiers also experienced extreme racism from some of the townspeople near their forts. This includes Brownsville, Texas in what became known as the Brownsville Affair.

The Buffalo Soldiers were also sent to the Philippines throughout the decade to fight with and then against the Philippine people during the Philippine-American War and later occupation of the islands.
