Follow Our Studio: www.blogtalkradio.com/gumboforthesoul A Book is Born™ by Gumbo for the Soul International® and TRIBE Family Channel™ About The Book: The American Civil War erupted and left a new population of Americans on the cusp of finding their dreams of freedom. The choices were few for an under-educated former female slave. She Was a Buffalo Soldier, tells the story of Cathay Williams from the point of view left unexplored in the history books. Cathay was born in Independence, Missouri during the antebellum period. She spent her childhood in slavery as a field-hand and house-servant. After moving to a smaller farm just before the beginning of the American Civil War, she was freed by a U.S. Army regiment searching the countryside for wartime contraband. Cathay was surreptitiously placed into service under the Union Army as a cook, a laundry clerk and nurse . After the battles ended, she found herself an uneducated black woman who only knew two things, being a slave and war. Rather than earning a living off her back, Cathay chose to disguise herself as a man named William Cathay and joined the U.S. Army to become the first and only documented female Buffalo Soldier.
