The Buffalo Soldier First Issue Artist Signed. Honoring black Americans in U.S. military history, Thomas Blackshear proudly offers an authentic Buffalo Soldier replica. HAND SIGNED BY THOMAS BLACKSHEAR.

In 1866, Congress formed the first all black regiments in the U.S. Army. These men fought during the Indian Wars into the early 1890s, becoming known as "Buffalo Soldiers" for their courage and tenacity. When not fighting Indians, Buffalo Soldiers built forts and roads, escorted wagon trains, cattle drives, stage coaches and mail runs. They protected settlers from outlaws. Throughout their military campaigns lasting into the mid 1900s, many Buffalo Soldiers earned the distinguished Medal of Honor.

ONLY 150 PCS WILL BE HAND SIGNED BY THOMAS BLACKSHEAR AND ONLY AVAILABLE AT A LIMITED NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED DEALERS.
