Ramona Caplan, the Beatrice Chauvenet Fellow in the Center for Southwest Research and a Ph.D student in the UNM History Department, will present a lecture titled “Cathy Williams, Lady Buffalo Soldier” on Tuesday, April 22 at noon in the Willard Room of Zimmerman Library. This is also a brown bag event.
Cathy Williams was a freed slave who posed as a man to become the only woman to enlist and serve as a Buffalo Soldier on the Southwest Frontier.
Questions about the lecture should be directed to Audra Bellmore, curator of the John Gaw Meed Archives of Southwestern Architecture at abellmor@unm.edu
