Leaving a legacy

How the 9th U.S. Calvary created a place in the world for future generations

By Thaddeus J. Kingston

Playwright, director and producer, Richard Scott Sr. of Madison, Wis. wanted to leave a legacy not only to his family, but a much greater audience, by creating "Buffalo Soldier: The Legacy." This play, which recently took place in the Mitby Theatre at Madison Area Technical College, portrayed the struggles and triumphs of the African American men in the 9th U.S. Calvary during the Indian Wars of the 1860s. While attending a presentation by former Buffalo Soldier, Robert Wallace, in 1999 Scott was intrigued by the sense of pride and honor that exuded from Wallace as he showed pictures of his fellow soldiers. This presentation inspired Scott's original work. Research for the play took him as far as San Antonio, which is one of the first places the original Buffalo Soldiers were stationed.
