Inspiration Behind the Name

The Williams Tote was inspired by Cathay Williams.

In 1844, Cathay Williams was born a slave in Independence, Missouri. (Ironic, right?)

Cathay was "freed" by the Union Forces who then volun-told her she would work as a cook and laundress. Not wanting to be a burden on her family when the Civil War ended, Cathay posed as a man - William Cathay - to join the newly formed 38th Infantry Regiment known as the Buffalo Soldiers.

(Talk about a "We Can Do It" attitude.)

Crazy enough, it took years for her identity as a woman to be discovered. While the details of Cathay's death are unknown, we do know this - Cathay was a woman determined to course her own life, the first black woman to enlist and the only female Buffalo Soldier.
