Class | Registration opens Monday, September 15, 2025 10:00 AM EDT

Uncover the untold stories of African American Deputy U.S. Marshals, scouts, and soldiers who played crucial roles on the Western frontier. This class explores their work, service, and impact in law enforcement and military units, including the post-Civil War infantry and cavalry regiments. Much of this history has remained hidden—until now. Join us for a deep dive into the experiences of these unsung heroes and learn about their contributions to the expansion and protection of the American West. A must-attend for history enthusiasts seeking a fuller picture of the Old West.
