Seminole-Negro Indian Scout Detachment
1870-1914
[insignias of the "United States Scouts", the Indian Wars and the United States Army are included along the top of the marker]
Fathers, sons, and brothers served side-by-side, each new generation becoming Scouts. Soldiering and scouting came naturally to these men whose quiet pride, dependable performance and habitual courage made them perhaps the most distinguished auxiliary unit in United States Army history.
Marker is at the intersection of Colony Row and McClernand Road, on the right when traveling west on Colony Row.
