Significant regimental history: The Black Troopers, or The Daring Heroism of the Negro Soldier in the Spanish-American War by Miles V. Lynk. First edition. Jackson, TN: The M. V. Lynk Publishing House, 1899. Hardcover, 6 x 8, 163 pages. Rebacked and restored to very good condition, with edgewear, rubbing to boards, light soiling, and some staining to boards. Accompanied by a custom-made clamshell case.
Highlighting the valor of Black soldiers in the Spanish-American War, this work stands out for its powerful account of how the 9th U.S. Cavalry—known as the 'Black Buffaloes'—rescued Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders from near annihilation. Published by an African American author and publisher, this obscure imprint is richly illustrated with portraits of notable soldiers and vivid battlefield sketches, offering a compelling and underrepresented perspective on American military history.
