Description

When you hear “Buffalo Soldier,” you probably do not initially think about America’s national parks. From patrolling and protecting some of our nation’s first national parks, to constructing roads and trails still in use today, to providing the first black national park superintendent, the Buffalo Soldiers played a vital role in the early years of our national parks. Join Ranger Stanley to discover and reflect upon their long, proud history and how their labor and service helped lay the foundation for the National Park Service.
