Swampy’s #Florida says Happy Buffalo Soldier Day!
Swampy shows Pasco Pete a photo of a famed Buffalo Soldier holding a bugle and that an early morning military bugle call sounds better than bagpipes.
The Buffalo Soldiers came into Florida in 1898 with Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders to camp in Lakeland and Tampa before the trip to Cuba to fight in the Spanish-American War. The Buffalo Soldiers were an all black outfit of the U.S. Army first assembled in 1866.
