John Langellier - Southwest History and Scouting with Buffalo Soldiers - John P. Langellier is a historian from Tucson. John is a prolific author who's written a LOT of books. His latest covers one of the Buffalo Soldier units from Southern Arizona. It's an interesting note that Buffalo Soldier is not a very descriptive term. US units throughout the west employed black soldiers in a variety of capacities...but damn did they do it well in the Ft. Bowie/Huachuca region. You will LOVE his latest book Scouting with the Buffalo Soldiers: Lieutenant Powhatan Clarke, Frederic Remington, and the Tenth U.S. Cavalry in the Southwest Pete A Turner grabbed the episode with John as he began his road trip. As we consider the role of race in history...we're fascinated by the presence of the multi-ethnic violence that made the Wild West bloody and yet filled with opportunity. We'll have more from John...you're gonna love his history. Please support the Break It Down Show by doing a monthly subscription to the show  All of t
