Description
An account of the resource
This beautiful memorial to the African-American soldiers who fought for the US Army within all-black units is symbolized by the Buffalo soldier cavalryman bronze statue on his horse who represents the 9th and 10th Cavalry units which were formed with African-American volunteers after the Civil War. The 10th Cavalry was formed at nearby Fort Riley. These African-American soldiers fought in the wars with Native Americans on the Plains where they received their nickname of "Buffalo Soldiers" from the Natives. These units performed magnificently and the memorial includes lists of soldiers who earned the Medal of Honor. These units and others continued their service in America's wars through World War II when the Army was integrated. There is a bronze bust and monument to Brigadier General Benjamin Grierson who commanded these units on the Plains and showed that African-American troops were integral to the US Army. The site also includes tributes to the first African-American Parachute Unit formed in World War II as well as a bronze bust of the first Four Star US African-American General Roscoe Robinson.

Description
An account of the resource
This beautiful cemetery is shaped in a half-circle with the roads between gravesites forming spoke-like shapes in the wheel. Spanish moss hangs majestically from the large trees that stand amongst the rows of headstones. The cemetery was established in 1863 during the U.S. Civil War and originally contained about 2800 remains of Union soldiers who died in nearby hospitals or military actions. One hundred and seventeen Confederate soldiers were also buried here. In 1989 nineteen Union African American soldiers who had fought with the famed 54th Massachusetts Regiment and whose remains had been found on nearby Folly Island in 1987 were re-interred here with full honors. The cemetery houses the remains of Medal of Honor recipient Private First Class Ralph H. Johnson and France Legion of Merit recipient Master Sergeant Joseph Simmons. And, Gerd Reussel, a German POW who had been aboard a German U-boat sunk off the coast of North Carolina was buried here when he died on the way to Charleston, South Carolina.
