DID YOU KNOW the characters in @Netflix’s western revenge tale #TheHarderTheyFall were based on actual figures from the old west? 🤠 👆 Check out this original art by Tumblr Creatr Brianna Pippens based on the IRL Cuffee! The Harder They Fall’s Cuffee wasn’t a real person, but she’s based on the very real, very badass, Cathay Williams. After being forced to serve as an Army cook and washerwoman during the Civil War, she posed as a man named William Cathay and enlisted in 1866, making her the first woman in the U.S. Army. She later said, “I wanted to make my own living.” A smallpox infection and subsequent hospitalizations revealed her gender and she was discharged. But that didn’t stop her from joining second 38th U.S. Infantry, one of six all-Black regiments in the Regular Army created following the war, cementing her as the first—and only—female Buffalo Soldier. (1844–1893) 🎥 Watch The Harder They Fall, playing in select theaters on October 22 and on Netflix globally on November 3.
