  An unheralded military hero, Charles Young (1864-1922) was the third black graduate of West Point, the first black US military attache, and the first African American officer to command a Regular Army regiment. Black Officer in a Buffalo Soldier Regiment tells the story of the man who - willingly or not - served as a standard-bearer for his race in the officer corps for nearly thirty years.
