No one knew when the bugle sounded reveille what would happen before taps that night. Forrestine Birdie Cooper learned at an early age that growing up on the western frontier meant that each new day brought a fresh adventure.

Birdie's father, Charles Cooper, was an officer in the Tenth U.S. Cavalry, known as the Buffalo Soldiers, one of four regiments of black troops with white officers. The Buffalo Soldiers made headlines with their battles against Geronimo, Sitting Bull, Lone Wolf, Billy the Kid, and Pancho Villa. These momentous events were just everyday life, and these men of valor, playmates in the childhood escapades of Birdie Cooper.
