She reveals a complex web of material and social entanglements that illustrate the military's complicity in anti-black racism while highlighting the various ways that black men--as soldiers, husbands, friends, and fathers--navigated an especially difficult terrain to demonstrate their humanity and rights to citizenship.\"—Maria Franklin, contributor to \u003cem\u003eUnlocking the Past: Celebrating Historical Archaeology in North America\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Wilkie's skillful use of the archaeological and documentary records provides much-needed nuance for understanding the lives of Buffalo soldiers.

Historians writing about Black soldiers serving in the West have long accepted the account without question, retelling the story of Daniel Talliafero, the thwarted \"rapist.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eUnburied Lives\u003c\/em\u003e Wilkie takes a different approach, demonstrating how we can \"listen\" to stories found in things neglected, ignored, or disparaged--documents not consulted, architecture not studied, material traces preserved in the dirt. With a focus on Fort Davis, Wilkie brings attention to the Black enlisted men and non-commissioned officers. In her archaeological accounting, Wilkie explores the complexities of post life, racialized relationships, Black masculinity, and citizenship while also exposing the structures and practices of military life that successfully obscured these men's stories for so long.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImportant Persons in This Work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrologue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter One.
