Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen by Sarah Bird


This is a must-read novel for all historical fiction fans. Cathy Williams, a newly freed slave with lineage dating back to African royalty, knows there are no favorable options for her future in the post-Civil War south. Posing as a man, she decides to join the legendary all-black cavalry known as the Buffalo Soldiers. This epic tale begins in the war-torn south and follows the army’s journey to the newly settled western frontier. Loosely based on true facts, this story is a riveting piece of history.
