"We are brave and ready to fight for our lands...I will go now and
I will fight you. As long as I live, I will fight you for the last
hunting grounds of my people," said Red Cloud, war chief of the
Oglala Lakota, to Colonel Carrington. The year was 1866, the Civil
War had just ended, and the Bozeman Trail was the shortest route
for prospectors to reach the gold rush territory of Montana-except
that it passed straight through the lands of the powerful Oglala
Lakota! When the US government demanded the construction of forts
along the trail, the situation quickly dissolved into war. Captain
William Fetterman had proudly boasted that he could destroy the
entire Lakota nation with just 80 men. Red Cloud, with the support
of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, had other ideas. In this
commemorative edition, marking the 150th anniversary of Red Cloud's
War, Goble recounts the tale of events through the eyes of Brave
Eagle, a fictional young Lakota warrior. This new edition features
an original never-before-published layout, updated and edited text,
digitally enhanced artwork, and a new foreword by Robert Lewis, a
Cherokee, Navaho, and Apache storyteller.
