While African Americans had fought in every prior American military conflict, these units, which became known as Buffalo Soldiers, became the first peacetime regular regiments. Between 1875 and 1879, soldiers in the 9th Cavalry were stationed at Fort Garland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarly Buffalo Soldier units often consisted of men formerly enslaved. For many Buffalo Soldiers, military service offered one of the few opportunities to provide for themselves and their families. Regiments were frequently sent west and assigned to the front lines of the Indian Wars. As the United States pushed westward in its relentless conquest of land, Buffalo Soldiers found themselves serving the country at the expense of Native Americans who had called this land home for millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebuffalo soldiers: reVision\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fort Garland Museum \u0026amp; Cultural Center, a Community Museum of History Colorado, is proud to offer \u003cem\u003ebuffalo soldiers: reVision\u003c\/em\u003e, an exhibition at the intersection of history, art, and place, exploring the complex the history and legacy of Buffalo Soldiers.
