"The word 'epic' is overused these days. Not here.This is big, blazing history, writ large on the High Plains." S.C. Gwynne, author of Empire of the Summer Moon "An absorbing and evocative examination of the endgame in the three-hundred-year war between Native Americans and settlers of European descent." Charles Frazier, National Book Award-winning author of Cold Mountain "Clavin and Drury spin us a ripping, though at times gruesome, tale full of adventure." Liberator
Reseña del editor
He was the only Native American chief to defeat the United States Army in a war. A renowned and respected leader in the vicious, bloody clashes for control over land in the Great Plains of the American West, his name came to represent the conflict itself: Red Cloud's War. The fog of history has left Red Cloud strangely obscured, despite his staggering achievements. He was born in 1821 and advanced in Sioux culture as a warrior and leader through fearless raids against neighboring tribes, preparing him for the epic struggle his nation would face with an expanding United States. This is a story as big as the West, including portraits of General William Tecumseh Sherman, explorer John Bozeman, mountain man Jim Bridger, Red Cloud protege Crazy Horse, and many others. It is a story about the birth of America as we know it today. Drawing on a wealth of evidence that includes Red Cloud's 134-page autobiography, lost for nearly a hundred years, award-winning authors Bob Drury and Tom Clavin bring their subject to life again in a gripping narrative that places you at the center of the conflict over western expansion. Red Cloud finally gives the nation's greatest war leader and Native American legend the modern-day recognition he deserves.
