Rescue at Pine Ridge, takes us on a journey with one of the most highly disrespected regiments in the history of the United States Military, " The Buffalo Soldiers". The gossip and rumors they experienced were false due to paranoia and racism. The civilians, their Officers, the American Indians that gave them their name, who observed their bravery, gallantry and heroism, knew better. The time period is set from 1866 - 1891. The location is the vast west territory of the Untied States. The Buffalo Soldiers will keep the peace throughout the territory they patrol, from the border of Mexico, through the American Great Plains and up to the border of Canada. Chasing renegade hostile Indians, Comancheros, Outlaws, removing land hungry settlers from Indian Territory; and performing the most famous rescue of the United States Army during the Indian Wars. This was just after the "Wounded Knee Massacre", and the death of the "Ghost Dance" Medicine Man, Big Foot, at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The Sioux Nation set a trap, which almost leads to a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry at Pine Ridge, fourteen years later. Only after enduring an all night forced-march in a blizzard, the 7th Cavalry are saved from sure annihilation by the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Solders. The 9th Cavalry, K Troop, representing all the 9th Cavalry, is rewarded for accomplishments at Pine Ridge, with Presidential Parades, Escorts and Burial Detail.
