A portion of the proceeds go to the Buffalo Soldier Educational and Historical Committee's efforts to build a reference and research library at Ft. Leavenworth, KS.

Now, through the combined efforts of Women of the World and the Buffalo Soldiers Foundation, the only known female soldier in the regiments, Cathay Williams, is being recognized for her service. For two years the former slave from Independence, Missouri, served as Private William Cathay until she became ill and was discovered by the post physician to be a woman. She was discharged at Ft. Bayard, New Mexico, on October 14, 1868, and later opened a boarding house in Raton which was a popular stop for General Phil Sheridan.
