Description
"The extraordinary true story of how JW Dear, a young Virginian who fought with Mosby's Rangers in the Civil War, went West and befriended Red Cloud, the most powerful Indian chief on the Great Northern Plains. Set during the opening of the West, the Great Sioux War of 1876, and the forcing of the Sioux onto reservations, Red Cloud and the Indian Trader is a uniquely personal insight into how betrayal, corruption, and backroom deals propelled the white man's relentless encroachment onto Indian tribal lands in pursuit of domination-and gold. It traces how respect, loyalty, and kinship grew between two men from vastly different cultures as they battled the injustices of the US government, and it exposes what it took to live through the visionary but brutal process of nation building"--,Provided by publisher.
