About this book

Charles A. Eastman, who wrote as Ohiyesa and belonged to the Sioux nation, gives each of fifteen Native leaders a chapter, among them Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Little Crow, Gall, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Dull Knife, Roman Nose and Chief Joseph. His stated aim is to present them in the light of native character and ideals. The opening chapter on Red Cloud, born about 1820 near the forks of the Platte River, recounts his boyhood training and the colt his father gave him.
