Buffalo Soldiers (on bikes)
When I first came across this image it stopped me in my tracks (or at least in my clicking)...excellent photo isn't it? It's a group of Buffalo Soldiers testing bikes before a journey. And being a Buffalonian I also like their title (though it is completely unrelated). I found the image at this site, which also includes an interesting story. If you'd like to learn more about Buffalo Soldiers, click here, here, or here. Click the image for a larger view...it'll fill your screen.

Rescue at Pine Ridge is the untold story of the 9th Cavalry from its Congressional conception in 1866, to the rescue of the famed 7th Cavalry by the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers. The 7th Cavalry was entrapped again, after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn't for the 9th Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry. This story is about, brutality, compassion, reprisal, bravery, heroism and gallantry.
