127 RED CLOUD, “Mahpiya Luta,” Oglala Sioux Chief (1822-1909)
Red Cloud became the most successful war leader of the Sioux and Cheyenne during the 1860’s and their campaign to close the Bozeman Trail and keep the Powder River inviolate – thus, he became one of the few Indians to win an armed conflict against the U.S. Army.
