Buffalo Soldier – A Review
By Virginia Phiri,
author of Highway Queen
Reading this book is
like being face to face with (a) Buffalo Soldier. Many stories have been told,
songs sung about Buffalo Soldiers, but this time it is different. This well
written story brings out the humbleness, humaneness and the history of the Buffalo
Soldier in such a way that it is not about wars and fighting but about a
people.
Of prominence in the
story are hard work, patience, tolerance and forgiveness as Ben Carter, the
Buffalo Soldier goes about his business under harsh conditions. Lessons learned in this book are that despite
the odd mistrust, arguments, jealousy, misunderstandings and general mischief,
the team puts aside its differences and unites on common ground to achieve
positive results.
One can conclude by
saying that credentials of the original Buffalo Soldier have obviously inspired
the modern day Buffalo Soldiers to be professional in the way that he or she
conducts their core business.
