This research is needed for the NPS to accurately and effectively tell the Buffalo Soldiers history in the 20 national park and the 37 National Register of Historic Places sites in which they served. B. Project Objectives ¿ Researchers will compile information and write an analysis from primary and secondary source that highlight the lives and experiences of the Buffalo Soldiers, their roles and duties in the early national parks, and their impacts and influences to provide the foundation for NPS interpretation, education, outreach and stewardship related to the Buffalo Soldiers.
