Brent Woods (1855 - March 31, 1906) was a Buffalo Soldier in the US Army. He was born a slave and freed at the age of 8. He joined the Army in 1873 and was assigned to Company B of the 9th Cavalry Regiment. On August 19, 1881, he participated in an engagement in New Mexico against Chief Nana and a small band of Apaches. After the deaths of six men in his cavalry, including his lieutenant, Woods took command and fought to save the lives of his comrades. On July 12, 1894, Sergeant Woods was awarded America's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions during the engagement. He retired from the army in 1902 and died in 1906 at the age of 50 or 51. No photographer credited, 1900.
