The CWR was created in part to honor and recognize  Cathay Williams, the only African-American female to serve as a Buffalo  Soldier from 1866-1868 with the 38th Infantry.  In addition, the CWR was created to unite all women  motorcycle enthusiasts for recreation, education, mutual support, recognition,  and to promote a positive image of motorcycling.

We would like to continue our recognition of Cathay Williams  by inviting all female Buffalo Soldiers (Members and Associates) to fill-out and submit the Female Buffalo Soldier form located on our home page just below our welcome message. We will compile the information and dedicate a page on this website to all female Buffalo Soldiers.  If you would like to actually join the ONLY all female Buffalo Soldier Regiment, the Cathay Williams Regiment, then all you have to do is click the “Join” link in the main navigation bar above and you will be taken to our official membership application.

Thank you and Safe Riding,

Arnita Conerly
President, Cathay Williams Regiment
