註釋This book delves into the legacy and rich history of the Buffalo Soldiers-African American troops who served in Utah. Their story is one of resilience, perseverance, and significant contributions to the nation, particularly during the era of westward expansion. These soldiers played a vital role in shaping the physical frontier and left a lasting impact on the landscapes where they served. Developed as part of a multi-phase initiative by the Utah Cultural Site Stewardship Program (UCSS), this booklet highlights key events, locations, and personal stories-both celebrated and lesser-known-that define this important chapter in both American and Utah history. It also explores the Buffalo Soldiers' interactions with Native American communities and non-native settlers, offering multiple perspectives on their influence and legacy. More than a historical account, this project underscores the importance of preserving both physical and intangible cultural heritage. Through site stewardship, historic photographs, archival documents, and oral histories, UCSS volunteers and partners are working to safeguard and share the diverse stories of Utah's people. This booklet is one element of a broader effort that includes educational resources, interpretive signage, and a comprehensive website designed to engage and educate the public. In collaboration with land management agencies, local communities, and cultural heritage professionals, this initiative aims to weave Utah's Buffalo Soldier story into the broader national narrative. The ultimate goal is to create an immersive, place-based learning experience that allows visitors to connect with the land where history was made-and to honor the enduring legacy of those who lived through it.
