Henry Ossian Flipper was one of the nineteenthcentury Wests most remarkable individuals. The first African American graduate of West Point, he served four years in the West as a cavalry officer but was courtmartialed and dismissed from the service in 1882. He spent the rest of his long life attempting to clear his name.Flippers record of accomplishment was significant for any individual in any time, and for a nineteenthcentury black American it was phenomenal. As historian Quintard Taylor points out, in his postArmy career Flipper was a surveyor, cartographer, civil and mining engineer, interpreter, translator, historian, inventor, newspaper editor, special agent for the Justice Department, deputy U.S. mineral surveyor, aide to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and consultant to the secretary of the interior. His work carried him to Mexico, Venezuela, and Spain, and he left a record of achievement that demonstrates his enormous talent and unrelenting effort.The Colored Cadet at West Point contains Taylors biographical essay, Flippers account of his career at West Point, and a new index prepared for this volume.
