Black, Buckskin, and Blue" is the title of a book by Arthur T. Burton that focuses on the experiences of African American scouts and soldiers on the American Western frontier in the 19th and 20th centuries. The book details their involvement in military engagements, critical incidents, and their general contributions to the westward movement.
Black, Buckskin, and Blue takes an in-depth look at African Americans who were scouts and soldiers on the United States western frontier during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The author explores the incidents and adventures black men were involved in during the westward movement as scouts and soldiers. Bypassing the radical hostilities they endured in frontier towns - well covered by other books - the author examines military incidents involving black soldiers and desperadoes, as well as certain critical military engagements in which they made important contributions. This book is a continuation of the research begun by the author more than a decade ago for Black, Red, and Deadly: Black and Indian Gunfighters of the Indian Territory, 1870-1907.
