FWIW,

The local PBS had a show about this troop. They were turn of the century Buffalo Soldiers.

The unsual thing is that they also had a black officer and some top NCOs.

They forged many of the roads in Yosemite and created much of what the park is today.

What a great shot!

Here are some articles with video about the Buffalo Soldiers in the Sierra
