About Red Cloud's War: The story of the 1866–1868 conflict along the Bozeman Trail through the eyes of Brave Eagle. Goble recounts how Oglala Lakota war chief Red Cloud, supported by leaders like Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, resisted U.S. forts being built through Lakota hunting grounds

 

About the author: Paul Goble (1933–2017), born in England, devoted his life to sharing Native American traditions through more than 30 illustrated books, including the Caldecott Medal winner The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses. Inspired by childhood stories, he spent summers on reservations, was adopted by Lakota and Yakima people, and settled in South Dakota’s Black Hills in 1977, drawing deeply from Lakota, Cheyenne, and Blackfoot stories to celebrate their culture and wisdom.
