The Story of Red CloudBy Judy K. KoehlerI became so engrossed in this tale of the great Sioux Chief; military genius; savage; husband and father; that I was unable to put it down until the last page. His story; interwoven with that of the U.S. military is spellbinding. A story of the greed and prejudice of the white man pitted against the stubborn determination of a Great War chieftain.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
