Buffalo Soldiers – Riders of the American Frontier | Epic American History Song Buffalo Soldiers were among the most important African American troops in United States military history. “Ready and Forward (The Buffalo Line)” is an epic American history song about the 9th and 10th Cavalry, the 24th and 25th Infantry, frontier service, military duty in the American West, and the Black soldiers who served a segregated U.S. Army after the Civil War. Congress created six Black Regular Army regiments in 1866: the 9th and 10th Cavalry and four infantry regiments that were later consolidated into the 24th and 25th Infantry in 1869. Buffalo Soldiers served across the West, scouting and patrolling, escorting mail and wagon trains, guarding transportation routes, repairing telegraph lines, building roads, and fighting in the Plains Wars. The origin of the name “Buffalo Soldiers” is debated, but it became closely associated with these African American frontier troops. Nineteen Buffalo Soldiers received the Medal of Honor for actions from the Plains Wars through the Spanish-American War. 2026 marks 160 years since Congress authorized the first Buffalo Soldier regiments on July 28, 1866. This story connects African American history, U.S. Army history, Reconstruction, American frontier history, military history, westward expansion, and the complex history of the Indian Wars. This cinematic historical song is made for fans of Buffalo Soldiers history, 10th Cavalry history, 9th Cavalry history, African American military history, U.S. Army history, American West documentaries, frontier history, military leadership, educational history, and epic orchestral music. 🎵 Song: Ready and Forward (The Buffalo Line) 🎬 Channel: WarWhoop 📜 Topic: Buffalo Soldiers – Riders of the American Frontier 🇺🇸 Era: Reconstruction / American West / U.S. Army Frontier LYRICS Given the worst mounts... And the hardest road. But we carry the weight. Out of the ashes of the southern fire Riding the trail of the telegraph wire From Fort Davis down to the Rio Grande We’re laying the iron across the sand The alkali dust is burning our eyes Under the weight of the western skies They gave us the nags and the broken-down gear But we are the kings of the wild frontier! The Comanche watch from the canyon stone They know we have grit in the blood and bone Fierce in the battle, with hair like the beast The Buffalo Soldiers ride out of the east! SADDLE THE HORSES! (Ride the line!) READY AND FORWARD! (Give the sign!) We wear the blue in the heat of the frontier sun! BUFFALO SOLDIERS! (Through the dust!) WE CAN, WE WILL! (In the steel we trust!) Until the bloody work of the nation is done! Hold the guidon high in the western sky! The Tenth Cavalry rides, and we never die! Apaches are moving on the southern trail We’re guarding the wagon, we’re keeping the mail Water is gone and the canteens are dry But nobody quits and nobody cries Nineteen medals of honor we claim Writing the glory in blood and in flame Shoulder to shoulder, we march in the heat We never surrender, we never retreat! The Comanche watch from the canyon stone They know we have grit in the blood and bone Fierce in the battle, with hair like the beast The Buffalo Soldiers ride out of the east! SADDLE THE HORSES! (Ride the line!) READY AND FORWARD! (Give the sign!) We wear the blue in the heat of the frontier sun! BUFFALO SOLDIERS! (Through the dust!) WE CAN, WE WILL! (In the steel we trust!) Until the bloody work of the nation is done! Hold the guidon high in the western sky! The Tenth Cavalry rides, and we never die! Who holds the border? (WE DO!) Who brings the order? (WE DO!) Draw the saber! (SHINE THE BLADE!) This is how the West was made! (SHINE THE BLADE!) Mount up! (HO!) Ride out! (HO!) Hear the Buffalo Soldiers shout! SADDLE THE HORSES! (Ride the line!) READY AND FORWARD! (Give the sign!) We wear the blue in the heat of the frontier sun! BUFFALO SOLDIERS! (Through the dust!) WE CAN, WE WILL! (In the steel we trust!) Until the bloody work of the nation is done! Hold the guidon high in the western sky! The Tenth Cavalry rides, and we never die! THE TENTH CAVALRY RIDES, AND WE NEVER DIE! Ready... And forward.
