Wallace C. Moore, Sr.
"Negro Scouts of the West"

Wallace C. Moore, Sr. will be the guest speaker for this month's meeting. Wallace served twenty-seven years in the United States Army, retiring with the rank of Sergeant Major. Wallace is an historian with a special interest in the history made by Aftrican Americans during the Indian War time period. Over the years Wallace has presented this history through creative re-enactments and readings. He has educated and entertained students and adults alike throughout the state of Oklahoma.

Negro Scouts of the West will be a series of poems and stories about some of the little known African-American men who served as scouts during the Indian War time period. Men like the famed Seminole Negro Indian Scouts John T. Glass, Jim Beckworth, Britton Johnson, Isaiah Dorman, Frank Grouard and many others. The stories of these frontiersmen have yet to be fully told and the world as a whole is still unaware of their many heroic deeds.
