Buffalo Soldiers were incorporated in 1866 and fought Indian wars through 1870's
My grandfather was someplace between Roosevelts Rough Riders and WWI
When he passed in the 70's I brought some of his horse tack from his service home
Not long ago I hung it from one of the first carvings I ever bought in Jamaica, just for a place to have it close in my memory
I realize the Lion of Zion and Buffalo Soldiers and my grandfathers service and my travels to Jamaica are all far removed from each other but still when I reflect it gives me a feeling of symetary
