The Civil War ended and left a new population of Americans on the cusp of finding their dreams of wealth and riches in the land of the free. The choices were few for an under educated former female slave. She Was a Buffalo Soldier, tells the story of Cathay Williams from the point of view of a former slave and soldier. Cathay was born a slave in Independence, Missouri 1844. She spent her childhood as a field hand and house servant on a plantation until her first master died. Just before the beginning of the Civil War, she was moved to a smaller farm near Jefferson-City, Missouri. With the onset of one of the most ferocious conflicts in American history, Cathay was placed into service under the Union Army. After the battles ended, Cathay found herself an uneducated black woman who only knew two things, being a slave and war. Rather than attempting to earn a living on her back, she chose to disguise herself as a man named William Cathay and become the first and only documented female Buffalo Soldier.
