In honor of Black History month (Feb. 1 - Mar. 1), we are highlighting Colonel Young and the Buffalo Soldiers. In the summer of 1903, Captain Charles Young became the first African-American National Park Superintendent when he and his troops were tasked to manage and maintain Sequoia National Park in California. To learn more about these important figures and their contribution to the national parks, check out these publications. Poster is also available for purchase.
