Presents a biography of Cathy Williams, African American and only woman ever to disguise herself as a man, join, serve in the Buffalo Soldiers, and succeed against all odds.
Taken By Her Greek Boss Cathy Williams Nick Papaeliou only dates beautiful women – so why he's attracted to frumpy Rose he doesn't know! Perhaps it's because she's the first woman not to fall at his feet. Rose wants to detest her arrogant Greek boss, but she needs the temporary work he's offering. As his ruthless pursuit begins to weaken her, she reminds herself that after his slow seduction she will be quickly discarded. But maybe Nick's in for the surprise of his life because underneath Rose's shapeless workaday garments hides a more alluring woman than he could ever imagine.
Women in the United States military have received more recognition than ever in recent years, but women also played vital roles in battles and campaigns of previous generations. Cathy Williams served as Pvt. William Cathay from 1866 to 1868 with the famed Buffalo Soldiers who patrolled the 900-mile Santa Fe Trail. Tucker traces her life from her birth as a slave near Independence, Missouri, to her service in Company A, 38th U.S. Infantry, one of the six black units formed following the Civil War. Cathy Williams remains the only known African American woman to have served as a Buffalo Soldier in the Indian Wars. Her remarkable story continues to represent a triumph of the human spirit.
Cathy Williams, an unskilled former slave, disguised herself as a man and joined the Buffalo Soldiers, a deception that went unnoticed for years, confirming her as the only female on record to serve in the African-American cavalry unit.
