- Summary:
- Few Americans today, black or white, know about the incredible life of Cathy Williams. From her beginnings as a slave in Independence, Missouri, to her enlistment with Company A, 38th U.S. Infantry, in November 1866, the story of this remarkable woman deserves to finally be told. By disguising herself as a man and assuming the name William Cathay, Williams became a "Buffalo soldier, " serving in one of the six black units formed following the Civil War. Her story tells us much about prevailing attitudes toward both race and gender in post -- Civil War America.
