Description
Red Cloud, an American Legend: The Untold Story The life of Red Cloud, a great Sioux warrior-statesman, has long been shrouded in mystery. Born in 1821 near the Platte River in modern-day Nebraska, Red Cloud overcame numerous social disadvantages to advance in Sioux culture. He did so by being a skilled fighter, strategist, and leader among his fellow warriors. Red Cloud's story is one of courage, wisdom, and fortitude in the face of a relentless enemy - the soldiers and settlers who represented the "manifest destiny" of an expanding America. The U.S. government's actions, including the frenzied building of forts throughout the Powder River Country, ultimately led to Red Cloud's War (1866-1868), a gathering of angry tribes under one powerful leader. This pivotal event culminated in a massacre of American cavalry troops, serving as a warning to Washington that the Plains Indians would fight, and die, for their land and traditions. This book restores Red Cloud to his rightful place in American history, finally telling the story of our nation's most powerful and successful Indian warrior.
