Chiracahua, Mescalero, and Warm Springs were only a
few of the Apache tribes the Buffalo Soldiers
encountered. Each had his individual style and unique
method of operation. They all proved to be skilled and
cunning adversaries. The men of the 9th and 10th
Cavalry paid a great price for the experience the
Apache had given them.

their appearance and tenacity

remains to its final resting place.

Sharecropper Huts, Slave Cabins, Wigwams,
Tee Pees, and Mud Huts were their homes.
No matter the plantation or reservation, they

to the reservations such as San Carlos and
Ojo Caliente.
