The "Buffalo Soldiers" named by the American Indians; they were Black soldiers who helped with the expansion to the West. I stopped at an important landmark, even though there is nothing to see but an historical marker. Fort Elliott was the United States Army outpost in the eastern Texas Panhandle from 1875 to 1890. Though never involved in a major military engagement, it helped transform the Panhandle from Indian hunting territory into a settlement area. Texas near the headwaters of Sweetwater Creek in Wheeler county Texas. It is a "Ghost Town" now. 1/11/23 mefoundation.world We at the Me love His story.
