Book Review of The Buffalo Soldier

The Buffalo Soldier


Moving story of husband and wife who struggle through the emotional upheaval of the accidental drowning of their twin daughters. How they offer foster care to a young black boy who doesn't fit in their white rural town. The title refers to the black soldiers who served in the U.S. Army during the Westward Movement. There really isn't any tie in to the story, except each chapter has a quote from a Buffalo Soldier, or his wife, at the beginning.
