Madeline embarks on a journey to uncover the personal and professional lives of two Buffalo Soldiers: James L. Wasson and Virgil Rowlett, both of whom served at Fort Huachuca and lived in Naco, Arizona in 1920 as confirmed on the 1920 census. Madeline intends to research archives and collections, interview family members, and piece together the lives of two men, in the hopes of providing content for an exhibit at Camp Naco that will bring more humanity and life to the stories and legacy of Buffalo Soldiers.
