Red Cloud and Fetterman Siege Remembered in Frontier Tale
A storied account recalls Red Cloud of the Oglala Sioux and the 1866 Fort Phil Kearny siege. It describes Red Cloud’s warpath against settlers, the Fetterman massacre, and heroic defense led by Captain James W. Powell and Lieutenant Jenness at the corral, with heavy Indian losses and a dramatic, near hand to hand stand.
