Annotation
A 118-year-old former Buffalo Soldier tells his story in Emerson Watkins Jr.'s A Story of a Forgotten Hero. Beginning with his escape from slave-like conditions on a Southern potato plantation in 1888, the saga of Tippy Pendarvis, last known surviving member of the United States Tenth Calvary, covers a century's worth of American war, racism and injustice.
