From The Globe Pequot Press

Quantity:

Price: $15.95

Red Cloud – the only Native American leader ever to win a war against the United States Army. In the 1860s he destroyed Captain William J. Fetterman’s command, closed the Bozeman Trail, and forced the United States to a peace conference. A brilliant military strategist, Red Cloud honed his skills against his tribe’s traditional enemies – the Pawnees, Shoshones, Arikaras, and Crows – long before he fought to close the Bozeman Trail.

Here, for the first time in print, is the story of Red Cloud’s early years as he told it to a white friend in the 1890s. This manuscript – which has rested ignored for decades at the Nebraska State Historical Society – brings us closer than the historical record ever has before to understanding the life of the Lakotas’ greatest war leader until the rise of Crazy Horse.

220 pages. 5½” x 8½”. Softbound.
