Book Review

The Black Regulars, 1866–1898. By William A. Dobak and Thomas D. Phillips. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2001. xviii, 360 pp. $34.95, ISBN 0-8061-3340-6.)

Some twenty thousand black enlisted men served in the U.S. Army between the Civil War and the Spanish-American War. Their history, inextricably linked with that of the West, was largely forgotten until 1956 when Dudley T. Cornish published The Sable Arm. In 1967, William H. Leckie's The Buffalo Soldiers, on the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry regiments, did much to bring their story to the public consciousness; Arlen L. Fowler told the other half of the tale, on the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry regiments, with his 1971 The Black Infantry in the West, 1869–1891. In The Black Regulars, 1866–1898, William A. Dobak and Thomas D. Phillips have created the definitive social history of black soldiers in the Indian wars and a model for the study of the lives of enlisted men in general.
