"RIGHT PROUD." THE BUFFALO SOLDIERS

It's 1879 and southern Arizona lives in fear of John Loco and his marauding band of Comancheros. The task of subduing the raiders falls to the US 9th Cavalry and its new band of recruits, among them Hal Jones, a wide-eyed sharecropper's son; Zach Burley, a crack shot who detests the Army; Tyrone Wood, a great horseman who lacks discipline; and Harris Harris, called Luv for what he's good at, and it isn't soldiering. Will the territory go up in flames, or can young Lt. Gatewood and grizzled veteran Sergeant Wright mold this ragged bunch into fighting men worthy of the right proud tradition of the Buffalo Soldiers?RIGHT PROUD. THE BUFFALO SOLDIERS is a story based on authentic American history. With illustrations by Western artist Frederic Remington, it blends action, humor, colorful characters and drama in the style of John Ford's classic films.
