Autobiography of Red Cloud

Red Cloudâ€”the only Native American leader ever to win a war against the United States Army. In the 1860s he destroyed Captain William J. Fettermanâ€™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 tribesâ€™ traditional enemiesâ€”the Pawnees, ÂShoshones, Arikaras, and Crowsâ€”long before he fought to close the Bozeman Trail.
Here, for the first time in print, is the story of Red Cloudâ€™s early years as he told it to a white friend in the 1890s. This manuscriptâ€”which has rested ignored for decades at the Nebraska State Historical Societyâ€”brings us closer than the historical record ever has before to understanding the life of the Lakotasâ€™ greatest war leader until the rise of Crazy Horse.
