Bob Rogers’
next novel features a Buffalo Soldier from South Carolina whose adventures during the Indian Wars (1867-1887) spans the southeastern
and southwestern United States. Bob Rogers is a great speaker and really connects with audience members. He recently spoke to my communications class
and grabbed the attention of my students who later had various questions about what it takes to be a successful writer. If
you are in need of someone who can connect with your audience, Mr. Rogers is the guy. _Benny

On July 28, 1866, Congress passed an act
that enabled Negroes to serve in the regular peacetime army. The US Army, in 1866, was a poor shadow of
its Civil War self. Nearly a quarter of a million Union soldiers had marched in review thru Washington
May 23-24, 1865 to celebrate the end of the Civil War. Then in 1866, by its new legislation, Congress authorized
six new regiments of Negro troops, two of cavalry and four of infantry. Thus, former slaves gained the
opportunity to play a major role in the settlement of the American west.
