Red Clouds Rise and Fall as Sioux Chiefs Split
A frontier tale recounts how Red Cloud became Sioux chief amid rival claims by Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. The narrative, from a former Red Cloud Agency agent, outlines the 1867 treaty, Old Man Afraid, Young Man Afraid, and shifting loyalties that shaped leadership among the Oglallas Brule and other bands.
