    News to me
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2024*

Custer, Sitting Bull and reservations were all I knew before.  This in depth look at the times, cultures and people, both Native Americans and whites is an education everyone should have.  In particular, it’s the backstory that we all need as told through the life of Red Cloud, an influential Chief I never heard of. I thoroughly enjoyed the read, looking forward to it at every sitting.  I think it helps to bring much needed historical context in understanding the cost of the westward expansion of our country to both native Americans and settlers.  But as usual, egos, politics, greed and power always had the greatest impact on both sides.

    Interesting book about a less well known Indian
  

*by T***0 on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2015*

This was a very good book recounting the life of Red Cloud , the only Indian chief to ever successfully wage a war against the US government. The book covers his entire life from the death of his alcoholic father and the subsequent childhood raised by the Ogalala branch of the Sioux tribe that his mother hailed from.His success was due to his ability to have the different branches of the Sioux tribe and other tribes (Cheyenne and Arapaho) work together to keep the white people out of one the last remaining hunting grounds of the Sioux people (Powder River Basin) As civilization began to encroach on their traditional homelands, the tribe was forced into smaller and  smaller areas farther west . Things came to a head when the Bozeman trail was built in Wyoming to allow easier and quicker access to the Montana gold strikes. This road was going to bring an end to the Indian's way of life and Red Cloud was able to launch a successful guerilla war campaign against the travellers on the trail and the calvary troops assigned to protect it. The high point was the so called "Fetterman Massacre"  known to the Sioux as the "battle of the hundred slain " in which the entire command (81 men) under Capt Fetterman were lured away from protecting a wood cutter detail and killed in a quick 30 minute battle.After the Fetterman incident the campaign continued for another year but the government soon realized that it needed to make peace with Red Cloud and ended up closing the Bozeman trail and withdrawing from 3 forts built to protect it.The book gives a good deal of attention to Red Cloud's army nemesis  - Col Carrington, a civil war veteran who hadn't seen any action and his civil war battle hardened underling - Capt Fetterman. Additionally the book gives a great deal of insight into the history of the Sioux tribe from the 1600s. How the tribe was organized - 7 branches and the western Sioux had 7 sub tribes which we are familiar with as they formed the core of resistance to white civilization on the high plains. There are a couple of excellent chapters of what daily life was like as a member of the Sioux tribe , the rituals, the diet, the hunting techniques, the division of labor etc. All of it was very interesting. The final thing I liked about the book was that the author let you know geographic locations by their present day states. IE "the Lakota tribe emigrated  west from Minnesota and spent many decades on the Missouri in present day South Dakota. For people that haven't travelled a lot in the US west it makes the story easier to understand . Also the maps provided , even in kindle for very friendly and easy to understand.

    Excellent Historical Book
  

*by C***B on Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2024*

This is a very good book. The authors tell the story well and keep the reader engaged. I found it very similar in style to S. C. Gwynne's "Empire of the Summer Moon." So if you read and enjoyed that one you will also enjoy this one. It's one I'll keep in my library.
