US Army. Two US cavalry regiments (the Ninth
and Tenth) and four infantry regiments were
designated for blacks. The Indians called them
"Buffalo Soldiers" because their hair resembled the
fur of the buffalo & in recognition of their fighting
spirit. The Ninth Cavalry was stationed at Fort
Stanton to control the Apache Indians.The fort was
commanded at one time by Kit Carson. Black Jack
Pershing was stationed there on two occasions.
Since it closed as an army post, Fort Stanton has
been used as a hospital, a school and a
correctional facility. In 2007 Ft. Stanton was
designated as a State Monument. A museum on
the grounds opened in June, 1997. Ft. Stanton is
about 25 miles from Ruidoso on the way to
Lincoln. To Arrange Tours, Call 575.336.1436
