1891年，潘興成為軍事學教授，任教於內布拉斯加大學 (University of Nebraska) 。四年後，潘興加入騎兵部隊。1896年夏季，潘興受命護送一些漫遊在外的克裡族印地安人 (Cree Indians) 回到加拿大。自那次的經驗，他見識到美國原住民部隊的勇敢及堅韌；而後，當他被派任到第十騎兵隊時，他也體認到非裔美人部隊的勇氣及奉獻精神。他尊敬這些與他不同的人，而這些人也敬重他。
　

In 1891, Pershing became a professor of military science at the University of Nebraska. After four years at the university, Pershing joined the cavalry. During the summer of 1896, Pershing was given the job of escorting some roaming Cree Indians back to Canada. He learned from that experience how brave and tough the Native American forces were. He also learned about the bravery and dedication of African American troops when he was assigned to the 10th Cavalry. He respected these people who were different from him -- and they respected him, as well.
