Description
Buffalo Soldiers: Trailblazers of the National Parks
Park founders like Thomas Augustus Jaggar, geologist for Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO), knew they couldn’t build a National Park alone. African American Soldiers, nicknamed Buffalo Soldiers, were instrumental in building and protecting many national parks, including Hawaiʻi Volcanoes in its infancy. Join rangers Elaine Boddie and Julieanne Fontana as they bring to life the remarkable story of how one regiment stationed in Hawaii, carved a trail out of rough ʻaʻā lava, assisted Dr. Jaggar in his field work, and left a legacy of hard work and rugged endurance.
