[Shelly♥ · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the story of the all black Army Units that served in the West after the Civil War. Despite segregation, inferior rations and disrespect by many civilians, these men served bravely and helped maintain order in the West. An often forgotten piece of history made alive for Elementary aged and prehaps early middle schoolers.
