On the Trail of the Buffalo Soldier Reviews

"This is a very useful guide for genealogists and historians....This source cannot be overlooked by anyone researching African-Americans after the Civil War."—Tony Burroughs, Chicago, Illinois, FGS Forum, Fall 1997.

"The title...is a fine addition to the ranks of African-American military history reference books....This well-constructed book is well worth its price, as it presents so much information in one volume. It is recommended for military history, genealogical, African-American, and general reference collections of all academic and public libraries."—Daniel K. Blewett, American Reference Books Annual, 1996.

"...no other source provides so firm a foundation for the study of the thousands of individuals who served. It will pass muster again and again as an invaluable tool for genealogists and historians."—Wilson Library Bulletin.

"It is impossible to overstate the value of this book to genealogical researchers and historians--the identification and documentation of thousands of 'buffalo soldiers' in one volume."—CompuServe Genealogy Forum.
