Cathay Williams is the only documented female Buffalo Soldier. Before women were even given a chance to fight for equality in service and suffrage, she broke free from her chains and fought alongside men during the Civil and American Indian Wars.
"SHE WAS A BUFFALO SOLDIER, THE STORY OF CATHAY WILLIAMS;" a three-part books series, tells the story of Cathay Williams, AKA William Cathay. As told from the perspective of a slave, set free and thrusted into the American Civil War, she became an unsung war veteran of one of the most pivotal conflicts in American History.
Cathay was born of a freed Afroed man, but the status of her Afroed mother being an enslaved servant, ill-fated her into bondage. She spent her childhood as a field hand and house servant on a plantation near Independence, Missouri. When the Civil War broke out, she was taken as contraband and placed into service under the Union Army as a cook, laundress, and nurses aid.
When the battles ended, Cathay found herself to be as most other Afroed Americans at the time, poor and only in knowledge of two things, being a slave and war. Rather than attempting to earn a living on her back, she chose to disguise herself as a man named William Cathay and started a journey that "will" earn her a place in American folklore and legend.
