A dream deferred, now fulfilled: Honoring Buffalo Soldier Isham A. Mitchell
For nearly a century, Private Isham A. Mitchell lay in Greenwood Cemetery without a headstone. The Buffalo Soldier, who served in the 25th Infantry from 1907 to 1913, was buried in Spokane 91 years ago, but his final resting place went unmarked after his widow’s pleas for assistance were denied.
