" Scouting with the Buffalo Soldiers brims with insights into daily life at the company level in the Tenth Cavalry, the late Apache wars, a Medal of Honor episode, and a compelling cross-play with the artist Frederic Remington. The included artwork makes this a Remington must-have."-- Paul L. Hedren , author of Rosebud, June 17, 1876: Prelude to the Little Big Horn and Fort Laramie and the Great Sioux War " Scouting with the Buffalo Soldiers takes a deep dive into Remington's important time with the 10th Cavalry that provided a lifetime of inspiration. It will be essential reading for our staff and for any Remington fan."-- Laura A. Foster , Director, Frederic Remington Art Museum, Ogdensburg, NY "John Langellier has done a marvelous job of researching the life of Powhatan Clarke and recounting his fascinating military career with the Buffalo Soldiers of the Tenth Cavalry. I found Langellier's study of Clarke's symbiotic relationship with Frederic Remington especially intriguing.

"-- Brian G. Shellum , author of Black Officer in a Buffalo Soldier Regiment: The Military Career of Charles Young "Once more, scholar and historian John P. Langellier has favored us with a readable, thoroughly researched book on the relationships and contributions of the remarkable nineteenth century U.S. black soldiers, also known as the Buffalo Soldiers. Langellier focuses on the two white compatriots of those intrepid black soldiers, one an officer and the other an artist. The first, Lieutenant Powhatan Clarke, and the second, prominent artist Frederic Remington, not only encouraged each other but also spoke highly and successfully of the behavior and exploits of the black soldiers in the west of the late nineteenth century. In the process, Langellier's book becomes an interesting, knowledgeable, and enjoyable presentation of those worthy troops.
